UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressed concerns over Iran's potential moves to close the Strait of Hormuz, labeling it as self-harming. He refrained from endorsing US and Israeli strikes on Iran, emphasizing the UK's non-involvement in those actions. While admitting uncertainty about the US attacks' effectiveness, Lammy disclosed ongoing efforts to assist British nationals in Israel, noting 63 had already been evacuated. He reiterated the necessity for Iran to engage in diplomacy, cautioning that threatening the waterway would complicate peaceful resolutions.
Lammy stated that any attempt by Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz would be detrimental not only to global trade but also to Iran itself.
He emphasized the UK is not involved in recent US strikes against Iran, asserting that these were targeted attacks rather than an agenda for regime change.
