Military involvement in the Strait of Hormuz risks escalation, civilian harm, and instability. The UK should reject offensive operations, prioritise diplomacy and coalition-building, and ensure full parliamentary scrutiny before committing any forces. Public support for peace can influence responsible government decisions.
