Proceeding contribution from Lord Purvis of Tweed (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 April 2026. It occurred during Private notice question on Strait of Hormuz: Mine Clearance.
Strait of Hormuz: Mine Clearance
My Lords, further to my noble friend’s question, does the Minister believe that there are any—or exclusively—military means by which the strait can be fully opened and restored to the level of shipping that was there before the unlawful exercise of President Trump? Given that the only diplomatic efforts that are now taking place are exclusively between the United States and Iran, and that President Trump has said that the United States will work only in the US interests, how are we involved in any diplomatic effort to ensure the long-term, sustainable openness of the strait?
