Just read about the Strait of Hormuz situation.

Just read about the Strait of Hormuz situation.

Interesting update: France's foreign minister clarified that the new US-led coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is meant to complement, not compete with, a similar mission led by France and the UK. He mentioned their initiative is at an 'advanced' stage. Iran has blocked this vital waterway (which normally carries 1/5 of the world's oil and LNG) due to the Middle East war, causing oil prices to hit a four-year high. The closure is impacting the global economy significantly. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2641958/middle-east

Complement, not compete. That's political speak for 'we're all stepping on each other's toes but don't want to admit it publicly.'

Advanced stage? Heard that before. Actions speak louder than words.

Yeah, it's a mess. Every time there's tension in the Gulf, we feel it at the pump. Just wish they'd figure out a peaceful solution that doesn't tank the global economy.
