France and Great Britain have led international efforts in recent weeks to increase pressure on Iran to stop blocking the strait. They have also convened military planning meetings for an operation to ensure the safety of navigation after the conflict ends.
It is unclear what impact the US blockade of Iranian ports, announced by Trump, will have on these plans.
