"In this serious situation, it is of course important to engage in dialogue with like-minded countries about how we can contribute to creating the conditions for a better security situation," said Foreign Minister Malmer Stenergard (M) in a comment to TT.

The United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan have jointly expressed their willingness to support shipping in the strait and the Persian Gulf. Fourteen other countries, including Sweden, have joined.

However, according to British government sources and French President Emmanuel Macron, the situation must stabilize before any intervention can be considered.
