Initially, US President Donald Trump urged the United Kingdom and its allies to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz in response to escalating tensions with Iran and recent Iranian attacks. This call for naval support was met with cautious responses from key UK officials and other allies, reflecting concerns about escalating regional tensions.

Subsequently, the UK government considered an alternative approach by evaluating the deployment of minesweeping drones to the Strait of Hormuz. This measure aimed to ensure the safe passage of oil exports without the risks associated with sending warships, highlighting the UK's attempt to balance security concerns with the potential for regional escalation.
