Oil eases on hopes for Strait of Hormuz passage  ttownmedia.com

By Elizabeth Piper and Sarah Young LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday Britain would not be drawn into a wider war in Iran but would work with allies on a "viable collective plan" to reopen the key Strait of Hormuz, though he acknowledged that would not be a simple task. U.S. President Donald Trump has heavily criticised Starmer for not initially supporting the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran, and said at the weekend that Britain, China, France, Japan and South Korea should send warships to the region to reopen the waterway.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday Britain was working with allies to come up with a "viable" plan to reopen the key Strait of Hormuz, but ruled out a NATO mission. During a press conference in Downing Street, Starmer told reporters he had discussed the situation in the vital oil transport route, effectively closed by Iran during the Middle East war, with US President Donald Trump.
