The E3 — the UK, France and Germany — issued a statement on Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and countries in the region, according to a UK government notice published on 12 July 2026. The supplied material describes the announcement as a statement, but does not provide the text of the statement or additional specifics about the attacks.[1]

What the notice says

The government notice identifies the subject of the statement as Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and in countries across the region. It does not say which incidents were discussed, who was affected, or what the E3 called for in response.[1]

What remains unclear

Because only a brief notice was supplied, the report remains limited to the fact that the statement was issued and its broad topic. The material does not independently confirm the underlying attacks, describe their scale, or provide any reaction from Iran or other governments.[1]
