• Germany deploys minehunter Fulda and supply ship Mosel toward Djibouti.
• Bundestag approval and consent from Iran and Oman required for mine-clearing mission.
• European partners discuss potential mine-clearing operation in the Strait of Hormuz.

"Germany is moving two naval vessels, minehunter Fulda and supply ship Mosel, toward Djibouti in preparation for a possible mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz. About 140 German soldiers are on board. The deployment would still require Bundestag approval, a durable ceasefire, an international mandate, and consent from Iran and Oman. A European-led mission under UK and France is under discussion."
