UK Will Not Back Blockade of Strait of Hormuz, PM Starmer Says

LONDON, April ⁠13 (Reuters) – ⁠British Prime ⁠Minister Keir Starmer said ​on Monday that ‌whatever the pressure, ‌Britain ⁠would ⁠not be dragged into the Iran war ​and was not supporting a ​blockade of the Strait of ⁠Hormuz.

Speaking ⁠to BBC ⁠Radio 5 ​Live, Starmer said it was ​vital ⁠to get the Strait reopened.

“It is, in ⁠my view, vital that we get the ⁠Strait open and fully open, and that’s where we’ve put all of our efforts in the last few ⁠and we’ll continue to do so,” Starmer said.
