On July 11, the US House of Representatives passed an amendment to the bill calling for a formal end to the Korean War. The amendment, proposed by two Democratic Representatives, Ro Khanna and Brad Sherman, was approved by the House of Representatives. This is the first time the US Congress has made such a move. The new content recognizes the importance of diplomatic efforts in achieving denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula and argues that a formal end to the war is a key factor in achieving this goal.

The UK will send the warship HMS Duncan to the Gulf, taking over from the HMS Montrose the task of ensuring freedom of navigation in this area. According to the announcement on July 12 by the British Government, sending the HMS Duncan to the Gulf is part of the country's ship rotation plan to ensure the continuous presence of British warships there. Accordingly, after the presence of HMS Duncan, the HMS Duncan will withdraw from all missions along with its crew. This also demonstrates the UK's commitment to stand side by side with international partners to support freedom of navigation in the Gulf.
In addition, a British official source said that from early next week, London will raise the security alert level for ships passing through Iranian waters to the highest level on a three-level warning scale. This level means that the UK assesses the security risks to commercial ships moving through the Islamic Republic's waters as "serious".
