At the end of March, prime minister Ilie Bolojan said the country could participate in demining missions in the Strait of Hormuz once a ceasefire is reached. Any involvement would depend on the conflict moving into a stable, post-hostility phase, he insisted.

At the same time, Romania joined the declarationof Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan regarding ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
