Military officials from 30 countries are meeting in London to advance a neutral naval mission aimed at escorting merchant ships in the Middle East, independent of the warring parties. The talks are focused on reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz and ensuring safe passage amid the ongoing conflict. Germany is reportedly considering contributions to mine clearance and maritime surveillance as part of the effort. The initiative comes as oil prices remain volatile due to the regional instability.
