Cooper presses 'urgent need' to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Cooper tells the meeting of over 40 foreign ministers there is an "urgent need" to restore freedom of navigation for international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. In the last 24 hours, she says, 25 vessels have passed through the strait - it would usually see 150 vessels pass through, but has been impacted by Iran's effective blockade of the key route. She adds there are some 20,000 tracked seafarers on some 2,000 trapped ships due to the strait's near-total closure.
