British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said that the task of resuming traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is not easy. He said that the UK is working with partner countries to make a plan for this. Similarly, he announced a relief package of 53 million pounds for those affected by rising oil prices.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump had called on countries including China, Japan, Britain, France and others to provide military assistance to open the Strait of Hormuz.

However, no country sent assistance. Trump has also warned that the future of NATO will be very bad if it does not help to resume traffic in Hormuz.

Similarly, he said that his visit to China may be delayed. Trump is scheduled to go to Beijing at the end of this month. However, he said that the visit may be delayed to put pressure on China to open the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump had a telephone conversation with NATO member British Prime Minister Starmer on Sunday night. Smarter said that there was a discussion about opening the Strait of Hormuz. He also said that he had a good relationship with Trump. ‘We have been strong partners for decades,’ he said, ‘but despite this, I have to work for the interests of Britain.’

He added, ‘If you are prime minister, you will not be able to say in a week that I made a mistake about the war.’

He said that ending the conflict is the most effective solution for now. Similarly, he said that he is concerned about the increase in prices due to the ongoing conflict in Iran. 

The war between the US-Israel and Iran has been going on for the past 17 days. About 20 percent of the world’s oil passes through Hormuz. However, Iran has not allowed oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said that there would be no problem for oil tankers from countries other than the US and its allies to pass through Hormuz.
