Starmer, Trump Push for Hormuz Reopening as Deadline Looms
The talks come as Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to Iran approaches its deadline, with the US president warning of severe consequences if the critical shipping route is not reopened “without threat.”
Keir Starmer and Donald Trump have discussed the urgent need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate.
The talks come as Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to Iran approaches its deadline, with the US president warning of severe consequences if the critical shipping route is not reopened “without threat.”
In a strongly worded statement, Trump vowed that the United States would “obliterate” Iran’s power plants, starting with its largest facility, if Tehran fails to comply.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most vital النفط transit routes, and any disruption risks major global economic fallout.
Diplomatic efforts are intensifying as world leaders seek to prevent further escalation in a crisis that is increasingly threatening regional and global stability.
