The British Royal Navy is preparing to launch a military mission aimed at securing navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and clearing naval mines, in response to escalating tensions and disruptions affecting global shipping and energy prices. British naval forces,
supported by advanced equipment and drones, are stationed on warships off Gibraltar, awaiting final directives to move toward the Arabian Gulf via the Suez Canal. They aim to provide maritime and aerial protection for vital corridors in coordination with international
allies. The UK Ministry of Defence emphasized its efforts to form an international coalition to ensure freedom of navigation in the strategic strait.
