British Prime Minister Keir Starmer affirmed that the United Kingdom will avoid involvement in the conflict with Iran and will not participate in a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, regardless of external pressures.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Starmer emphasized that the UK does not support the blockade and stressed the importance of reopening the Strait.
His statement follows an announcement from the US military regarding a blockade of all maritime traffic at Iranian ports and coastal regions, effective Monday, after weekend negotiations to terminate the war were unsuccessful.
