Britain not backing Hormuz blockade, Starmer says

Britain would not be dragged into the war involving Iran and does not support a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Starmer said it was vital to ensure the key waterway remained open.

“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,” he said.
