British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that his country would not be drawn into a war with Iran, regardless of the pressure, and that it would not support any control of the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement to the BBC, Starmer stressed the importance of reopening the strait. He said, "It is essential that the strait be fully reopened, and that has been the focus of our efforts over the past period, and we will continue to work towards that."
