Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy has advised that that Australia will "most definitely" participate in a proposed Europe-led summit aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. About 40 nations have been invited to attend the summit, which has been organised by France and Britain, and will seek to form a global coalition to safeguard shipping in the Strait of Hormuz after a permanent ceasefire is in place. The US and Iran are not expected to have any role in the proposed coalition. Meanwhile, media reports have indicated that at least 15 US warships participated in the first day of the Trump administration’s blockade of the Strait.
