RNZ National Wellington 12d11d Impact 5

The United States has invited New Zealand to join a multilateral mission, according to Deputy Prime Minister Nicola Willis. Willis stated that more information is required before any decisions are made regarding the proposal. The government is also discussing a potential joint British-French mission. Willis noted that New Zealand is currently preparing for a potentially prolonged closure of the Strait. An issue causing widespread internet and call outages across the network and Two Degrees has been fixed. A paramedic reported winching a man to safety after he landed on rocks during the period of service disruption. Internet and phone calls were unavailable for many customers across the country. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon stated the government requires more information regarding plans for multinational missions to open the Strait of Hormuz.
