British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the United Kingdom is working with its allies to develop an effective plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He said the move is essential to ensure market stability and restore freedom of navigation in the region. Starmer emphasized that the task is not easy but necessary to maintain global trade routes.

According to Starmer, recent U.S. military operations have significantly weakened the military capabilities of what he described as Iran’s “hateful regime.” However, he noted that a negotiation-based agreement will be required to limit Iran’s ability to rebuild its nuclear program and to secure international shipping lanes. The British leader underscored that cooperation among allies is central to achieving these goals.

The statement comes amid heightened regional conflict, including reports of U.S. and Iranian military engagement and attacks in nearby areas, underscoring the urgency of securing maritime routes through the vital waterway.
