The United Kingdom will deploy autonomous drones, Typhoon jets, and a warship to the Strait of Hormuz backed by £115 million ($155.53 million). This contribution joins a multinational defensive mission to secure shipping lanes impacted by the ongoing regional conflict. About 20% of global oil supply passes through the strait, making the passage critical for energy price stability.
