A coalition of NATO countries, along with South Korea, Australia, and Japan, is meeting in Paris to outline a plan for resuming navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been impacted by recent conflicts involving Iran and the US. The mission will focus on defensive measures, including military ships and intelligence operations, amid ongoing indirect talks for a ceasefire. European leaders are under pressure to act following US airstrikes against Iran, which have disrupted global shipping and oil prices. The meeting will be hybrid, with key leaders attending in person and others online.
