Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced that the UK is collaborating with allies to develop a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global oil supplies. This follows President Trump's call for warships to protect the shipping channel amid rising tensions with Iran. Starmer emphasized the need for a collective approach and stated that the UK would not be drawn into a wider conflict. He also announced financial support for households affected by rising heating oil prices. The situation remains uncertain, and Starmer is focused on de-escalation.
