UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that Britain “will not be drawn into the wider war” in the Middle East, even as it works with the US, European partners and Gulf allies on a “viable collective plan” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the critical energy chokepoint disrupted by the ongoing regional conflict.
Speaking at a press conference at 10 Downing Street, Starmer said reopening the strait was essential to restore shipping flows and stabilise global markets, but stressed that it would be a difficult task and would not involve a Nato mission.
