UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain will not be drawn into the Iran-US-Israel conflict while announcing a 35-nation meeting to address the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. The talks, to be hosted by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, will focus on diplomatic and political measures to restore navigation, ensure safety of vessels, and resume movement of vital commodities. Starmer warned the war’s economic impact will affect the UK but said the country is prepared to withstand the disruption. He emphasised closer cooperation with European allies and reaffirmed commitment to NATO amid rising global tensions and energy market instability. (PC: Reuters)
