Germany to offer demining, surveillance support for Hormuz mission - report

Apr 16, 2026, 14:01 GMT+1

Germany is prepared to support a potential mission to secure the Strait of Hormuz by providing demining and maritime surveillance capabilities, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported on Thursday.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz is expected to present the proposal at a meeting in Paris on Friday with counterparts from France, Britain and Italy, the report said.

The initiative comes as European countries explore options to help safeguard shipping in the strategic waterway amid heightened tensions.
