Britain Rejects Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and Calls for Protection of Freedom of Navigation

The Financial Times reported today, Sunday, citing informed sources, that Britain will not participate in any move to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions in the region.

The newspaper quoted a spokesperson for the British government confirming the necessity of not imposing any fees on the transit of ships in the strait, as this would have repercussions on global trade.

The spokesperson noted that Britain is working in coordination with France and other international partners to form an alliance aimed at protecting freedom of navigation in vital maritime corridors.

These positions come at a time when international concerns are growing regarding the security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered one of the most vital arteries for global energy supplies.
