How might the UK support shipping in the Strait of Hormuz?
Keir Starmer has confirmed that the UK is working with its allies on a “workable plan” to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after Donald Trump asked countries, including the UK, to send ships to the region to keep the Bosphorus “open and safe”. BBC Verify’s Ben Chu examines what role the Royal Navy could play in such an operation and the risks involved.
