Britain ordered its navy to escort UK-flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz

the Royal Navy has been tasked to accompany British-flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

Britain proposed a European-led mission that could secure the passage of vessels through the world's busiest oil shipping lane but France said it was not willing to send extra military assets to the Gulf.

Britain currently has the HMS Montrose warship in the Gulf and a handful of smaller naval vessels.
