Number of countries offering to ‘contribute’ to opening Strait of Hormuz grows to 22

Two more nations signed on to a letter Saturday strongly condemning Iran’s partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz – isolating the Islamic Republic diplomatically as it seeks to apply maximum economic pressure by bottling up oil shipments. The total number of countries offering to 'contribute' to the effort to reopen the waterway has now reached 22, creating a broad international front against Tehran's maritime strategy.
