Sweden signals NATO interest in policing Strait of Hormuz after Iran closure

Sweden's Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard has expressed openness to a NATO role in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed in retaliation for US-Israeli bombing, according to Politico Europe. The issue is expected to be discussed at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting, with some allies warming to a formal alliance role in restoring normal shipping traffic through the critical waterway.
