Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has said Germany is deploying two ships to the Red Sea to prepare for a potential mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz.
– Speaking as he arrived for a NATO meeting in Brussels, Pistorius said: “As we speak, our minesweeper Fulda and the supply ship Mosel are sailing through the Suez Canal towards the Red Sea.”
– Pistorius said approval would be needed from Iran and Oman before any participation in a minesweeping operation, and added any mission would also depend on developments in further talks between Iran and the US.
