The United States is seeking support from other nations to form a new international coalition aimed at restoring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

The proposed initiative, referred to as the 'Maritime Freedom Construct,' would enable ships to navigate the crucial waterway after traffic there stalled amid rising tensions.

The coalition would focus on sharing intelligence, coordinating diplomatic efforts and helping enforce sanctions, the report said, citing an internal U.S. State Department cable.

Such a framework could bring together naval and political support from multiple countries to ensure the continued flow of global trade through one of the world's most vital shipping lanes.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint linking the Persian Gulf with global markets, carrying a significant share of the world's oil shipments. Disruptions in the waterway have wide-ranging implications for energy markets and global supply chains.
