UK Plans with Allies to Reopen Strait of Hormuz

London is collaborating with allies on a joint plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore freedom of navigation in the Middle East, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday. However, he cautioned that the undertaking will not be straightforward.

“We must reopen the Strait of Hormuz in the end to ensure stability in the oil market. It is not a simple task,” Starmer told reporters.

He added, “we are working with all our allies, including our European partners, to develop a workable joint plan that can restore freedom of navigation in the region as quickly as possible and mitigate the economic impact.”
