Canada and the United Arab Emirates are among more than a dozen countries that have added their names to a joint statement by the U.K. and other aligned nations calling on Iran to immediately stop attempts to block commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

The statement was initially published on Thursday and was signed by the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan. It said the group condemned Iran's recent attacks on unarmed commercial vessels, attacks on civilian infrastructure and the de facto closure of the strait. Sixteen countries including South Korea have since signed on, according to an update published by the U.K. government on Saturday.
