UK Works with Allies on Plan to Reopen Strait of Hormuz, Avoids Wider War

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Britain is working with allies, including European partners, Gulf states, and the US, to develop a viable collective plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore freedom of navigation amid escalating Middle East tensions. He emphasized that reopening the strait is essential to stabilizing global energy markets but acknowledged it will be challenging. Starmer ruled out UK involvement in a wider war or a NATO-led mission, focusing instead on protecting British citizens and easing economic impacts through coordinated diplomatic and security efforts.
