00:07to protect passage through the Strait of Hormuz, fearing it could drag them into a dangerous war.

00:19the critical passage for energy exports once hostilities in Iran conclude.

00:59which is affecting countries that are not part of the conflict.

01:10waterway
01:10and suggests their participation is not conditioned by talks or a ceasefire.
