NATO member countries discuss possible steps related to the Strait of Hormuz, focusing on how to reopen the waterway amid tensions involving Iran, according to reporting from multiple outlets.

The talks are described as proceeding outside formal NATO channels, with an emphasis on indirect ways to ease the broader Iran-related dispute. Yahoo News and The Jerusalem Post both frame the effort as an exploration of options that do not involve the alliance directly, rather than a decision by NATO as an organization.

In this context, the outlets present the discussions as part of a wider diplomatic and security consideration among NATO states, aimed at reducing risks and maintaining access through a strategically important shipping route. The reporting does not indicate that NATO collectively takes action, but instead highlights national or coordinated approaches that operate outside alliance structures, including plans intended to support the reopening of the strait.
