Summary
<p>The British-led effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by forming a coalition without U.S. involvement is just unrealistic. </p><p>Most countries lack the naval power to do this, and even if the coalition could assemble the ships needed, countering Iran's drones and missiles would be extremely difficult. Protecting shipping and reopening the strait would require naval escorts and control of vast stretches of the Iranian coastline...not something this coalition could achieve.</p>
