Sir Keir Starmer says the UK is working with allies on a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but will not be dragged into Donald Trump’s “wider war” on Iran.
The prime minister confirmed he is talking with other countries, including European allies as well as Canada’s Mark Carney in Downing Street on Monday, about military involvement to keep the straits open amid fresh warnings of soaring prices and fuel rationing in Britain.
