UK declines Trump's offer of sending warships to Hormuz British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday refused to send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump called on allies to reinforce efforts to secure the waterway, The Telegraph reported. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the government was “intensively looking” at options to keep the route open but stopped short of committing naval vessels. Officials are considering deploying mine-hunting drones instead. Allies including France, Germany and South Korea, also show reluctance to join the proposed mission.  US Air Force members prepare munitions for a USAF B-1B bomber, at RAF Fairford airbase in Britain on 15 March 2026.

EU weighs action to keep Strait of Hormuz open for shipping European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Monday said the bloc is discussing ways to keep the Strait of Hormuz open amid rising tensions affecting global energy supplies. “It is in the interest of the European Union to keep the Strait of Hormuz open,” Kallas said, adding that officials had also discussed the issue with the UN secretary-general. She warned that closing the waterway would be “a very serious development for oil and energy supplies” as the war in Iran drives up oil prices. Kallas said the EU will discuss the possibility of "changing the mandate" of the Aspides Naval Mission, adding that America's easing of sanctions on Russian oil sets a "dangerous precedent". Mission Aspides is an EU naval mission to protect cargo ships in the Red Sea from attacks from Yemen's Houthis.
