M-East war: Nigeria, 39 others meet on Hormuz Strait

Forty countries, including Nigeria, held a virtual meeting to discuss restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, following its closure by Iran. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned Iranian attacks on vessels, which have nearly halted maritime traffic in this critical region for global oil supply. Participants signed a statement demanding that Iran stop its attempts to block the strait and agreed to contribute to efforts to ensure safe passage.
