- Hakan Fidan will travel to London this week for talks on Iran, Ukraine and NATO cooperation, a Turkish diplomatic source said.
- Britain will host a two‑day meeting of military planners from over 30 countries to advance a mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, complicating diplomatic efforts, Globe and Mail reported.
- Trump said he would indefinitely extend the ceasefire with Iran to allow further peace talks.
- Turkey warned of difficulties with the proposed Britain‑France mission to protect shipping in the strait.
Why it matters: Over 30 countries planning a Hormuz‑reopen mission aims to restore shipping for global traders, while Iran’s ship attack threatens further closures; Turkey gains diplomatic leverage and defence‑energy contracts with Britain, and NATO coordination helps lower regional conflict risk.
