UK Prime Minister Starmer and French President Macron said on 3 July they will work with Oman to safeguard sovereign territorial waters. Iran deputy foreign minister Gharibabadi on 4 July responded that the Strait of Hormuz is not a venue for extra‑regional military displays and Tehran opposes any military action that could affect the waterway’s security. He said Iran, as a guarantor of Strait security, will monitor related military moves closely, that security should be maintained by littoral states, and that any party creating a crisis will bear the consequences; the warning was described as “serious.”

On July 4 the China Coast Guard conducted law-enforcement patrols in waters east of Taiwan, using the term 'routine' in its report for the first time compared with last month. Marine expert Yang Xiao said 'routine' denotes continuous enforcement operations intended to assert sovereignty. The coast guard has implemented regular patrols of the Diaoyu Islands and affiliated islets and routine enforcement around Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal). The agency said it logged 357 days of patrols around the Diaoyu Islands in 2025, which China says demonstrates its undisputed sovereignty over the islands and their territorial waters.
