In the latest development of the Strait of Hormuz crisis, representatives from 49 states at the Hormuz Conference in Paris agreed on a defensive military mission to secure the strait. France and the UK will lead, with Germany and Italy focusing on mine clearance. Iran has conditionally lifted its blockade pending the Lebanon ceasefire.

Amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, with no lasting ceasefire in sight despite an earlier US-Israel-Iran truce, the German navy has begun concrete planning for a possible deployment to secure the strait. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius outlined the prerequisites, including a legal framework and Bundestag mandate.

In an update to South Korea's response to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stated on April 15 that Seoul has no plans to pay Iran for passage of its 26 stranded ships carrying 173 seafarers, aligning with the U.S.-led blockade. Data on the vessels was shared with Iran, the U.S., and Gulf states, factoring in a recent two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.

A United Nations agency halted plans to evacuate ships from the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday following an attack on a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman. The incident occurred after several tankers used a new route backed by the agency. A U.S. official identified the attacker as an Iranian drone.

Amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, Germany's navy has taken concrete steps following earlier planning: the minehunter “Fulda” departed Kiel-Wik for the Mediterranean, and supply ship “Mosel” is being pulled from a NATO Aegean mission to support it. Both will join NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 2, ready for potential strait deployment pending Bundestag approval.
