Britain: We will do everything to open the Strait of Hormuz

Starmer Pledges Action to Address Iran Conflict and Strait of Hormuz Concerns

Paris, France – Prime Minister Keir Starmer affirmed his commitment to minimizing the impact of the ongoing Iran conflict on the public and to securing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following his arrival in Paris. Starmer is participating in a meeting involving approximately 40 nations, led by France and the United Kingdom, aimed at formulating an international strategy for the vital waterway. The meeting’s primary focus is developing a coordinated plan to ensure the continued access to the Strait of Hormuz.

Starmer stated, “I will do everything I can to mitigate the impact of this conflict on the public and to reopen the strait.” He emphasized the critical need to establish a broad coalition of countries centered on the principle of a permanent ceasefire, a negotiated agreement, and the sustained operation of the strait. “It is in the interest of all of us to do this,” Starmer explained, “because what is happening in the war in Iran is affecting the economy of each of us.” The leaders recognize the potential disruption to global trade routes and the broader economic consequences stemming from the conflict. Discussions will center on building consensus and operationalizing a plan to address the situation surrounding the strait.
