Britain Sends the Dragon to Middle East in Mission to Unlock Commercial Shipping

Описание: A British Royal Navy destroyer is headed to the Middle East where a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is underway – as part of a multi-country mission that could finally unlock commercial shipping in the critical waterway. The HMS Dragon is joining a “freedom of navigation” mission in a move that signals an important international shift toward ending Iran’s stronghold of the strait. President Trump has long demanded other US allies, including those dependent on Persian Gulf oil, share the burden of getting commercial traffic through the strait.
