The United Kingdom is working with France and other partners to form a “wide coalition” to ensure passage through the Strait of Hormuz, CNN reported citing a UK government spokesperson.

“We continue to support freedom of navigation and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which is urgently needed to support the global economy and the cost of living back home,” the spokesperson said on Sunday.

“The Strait of Hormuz must not be subject to tolling,” the spokesperson added. “We are urgently working with France and other partners to put together a wide coalition to protect freedom of navigation.”
