UK to convene more talks on Strait of Hormuz next week

Britain will convene another round of talks with allies next week to discuss how they can reopen the Strait of Hormuz without resorting to paying tolls to Iran, a British official who wished to remain anonymous told Reuters on Friday. The discussions could include coordinated economic and political measures, including possible sanctions and ways to secure the release of ships currently held in the strait, according to the official.
