Politico: British divers are preparing to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz

The authorities of the kingdom confirmed that they would provide autonomous mine-countermeasures systems as part of a mission to protect the strait, the publication writes. The author also notes that this is an attempt by Britain to get involved in ensuring security in the Persian Gulf.

“The United Kingdom and France jointly held a series of meetings aimed at ensuring freedom of navigation on this trade artery and mitigating the economic consequences of its closure in early March.

However, the participating countries disagree on the role the US should play in this initiative, while the White House insists that it does not need Europe's help. Earlier, Trump called the British naval forces 'toys'.”
