War on Iran: NATO secretary-general calls on nations to 'work together' to secure Strait of Hormuz
NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte says 22 countries, many of them members of the alliance, are ready to work together to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Strikes - real and threatened - on vessels have effectively closed off most traffic through the waterway. Although Iran's foreign minister has denied this, with Abbas Araghchi maintaining that only ships belonging to Iran's enemies have been denied passage. He added that Tehran was open to nations that coordinate - including specifically Japan. William Denselow reports from Brussels.
