Pakistan, April 25 -- Germany plans to join a potential international mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to secure one of the world's most critical shipping routes. The move comes amid heightened regional tensions and growing concerns over maritime safety. The development is significant as it could directly impact global energy transport and commercial shipping stability.

Boris Pistorius said Germany would participate if an international mandate is approved. He stressed that any deployment in the Strait of Hormuz would require parliamentary authorization. Pistorius added that preparations are already underway to ensure rapid deployment once approval is granted.
