Keir Starmer says that Britain does not support the blockade of Iranian ports.
The Prime Minister of Britain stated in an interview with BBC Radio 5 that instead, Britain will focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz as it is "the quickest way to reduce energy prices."
Mr. Starmer did not directly answer the question of whether he holds Donald Trump personally responsible for the rising energy costs in Britain.
He said, "The most important thing" he can do is to bring countries together to collectively call for a reduction in tensions and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Prime Minister of Britain also held Iran responsible for the restrictions on traffic in the Persian Gulf.
Mr. Starmer reiterated that Britain will not enter this war.

Macron: France and Britain will hold a conference on a defensive maritime mission in Hormuz
Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, announced that Paris will hold a conference in the coming days in collaboration with Britain and willing countries to discuss ways to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that any potential mission within this framework would be purely defensive and separate from the parties involved in the war.
Macron expressed this position in a message on the social media platform X, stating that the goal is to shape a multinational and peaceful mission to restore maritime security in Hormuz; a mission that, according to him, can be deployed "as soon as conditions allow." These remarks come as France had previously stated that it would not participate in the maritime blockade proposed by the U.S. against Iran.

Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of Britain, on Monday, April 24, warned on social media X about the consequences of the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that this situation severely harms the global economy and increases living pressures. He emphasized that the return of normal international shipping flow is essential for reducing the cost of living worldwide.
Starmer also announced the formation of an international coalition, stating that Britain has so far brought together over 40 countries whose common goal is to restore freedom of navigation.
According to him, London and Paris will hold a joint meeting this week to agree on a coordinated, independent, and multinational plan for the protection of international shipping after the end of the conflicts.
