Japan and European powers pledge to secure Strait of Hormuz

Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands have pledged support for securing the Strait of Hormuz, according to the claim circulating on social media, marking a reversal from their earlier refusal to commit to such a mission. The strait is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and security there has been a major concern amid regional tensions involving Iran. The reported pledges would represent a significant shift in several governments' positions on naval protection duties.
