Britain’s Chancellor Rachel Reeves has sharply criticised the United States over the economic fallout of the Iran war, saying she is “very frustrated and angry” as UK families bear the brunt. Speaking about policies under Donald Trump, Reeves called the strategy a “folly” due to the lack of a clear exit plan. She highlighted that gas prices have surged בעקבות disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route that previously carried about 20% of the world’s oil. The closure, following US-Israel strikes on Iran, has intensified global energy pressures. (PC: X)
