Lithuania plans to deploy up to 40 personnel and minesweeping resources to support a United States-led mission in the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal follows a United Kingdom decision to send a warship to the Middle East for shipping protection. The strait is a critical chokepoint for global maritime commerce.
Lithuanian Chief of Defence General Raimundas Vaiksnoras announced the potential contribution during a press conference in Vilnius. The Baltic nation is focusing on providing minesweeping assets and specialized headquarters capabilities for the multinational effort.
