Australia considers joining US-led coalition to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Australia may take on a larger role in the Middle East conflict, with the government considering joining talks with the United States about reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong has confirmed that Australia is engaging on options regarding the initiative, as US President Donald Trump seeks participation from countries to join an international coalition against Iran.
The development comes as tensions escalate over the critical waterway, which serves as one of the world’s most important shipping routes for oil and gas. #iran #usa #straitofhormuz #middleeast #australia
