NATO countries are teaming up to protect the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil shipping. The UK is leading the effort, with 22 nations participating. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says European countries took time to come together after US President Trump’s pressure on helping secure the area.
The decision comes as ships have stopped crossing the strait due to concerns about Iranian fire, affecting global oil prices and economies.
