Australia has announced its decision to join a defensive military mission led by the United Kingdom and France to ensure the safety of maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement was made by Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles, who stated that Australia will contribute an E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft to the mission. The aircraft is already deployed in the Middle East and is currently assisting the United Arab Emirates in defending against Iranian drone attacks.
Following a meeting with representatives from around 40 countries, Marles said that once the mission is formally established, Australia is ready to support the independent and strictly defensive multinational initiative led by the UK and France. He emphasized that the mission will complement diplomatic efforts and de-escalation initiatives while demonstrating a tangible commitment to protecting international trade security.
The mission is described as fully defensive in nature and aims to strengthen collective security in a strategically vital maritime corridor.
