This effort is taking place during an ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. The conflict has now lasted for seventeen days.
President Donald Trump is leading the initiative to gather support from other nations. The goal is to maintain the free flow of trade through the Strait.
The Strait of Hormuz is located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. Control and security of this area are vital for many countries.
The current conflict has already led to increased instability in the region.
Further details about specific commitments or planned actions were not immediately available.
