UK Sets Precondition for Strait of Hormuz Presence: War Must End

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the UK government has so far rejected requests from the White House for any involvement in patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. London has declared that it will only accept such a role if the United States and the “Zionist occupiers” halt their aggression against Iran.

The Times newspaper reported that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is seeking guarantees, potentially requiring a UN resolution, to ensure that international law is not breached. This stance indicates a cautious approach from the UK regarding direct military engagement in the sensitive waterway.

In related developments, an informed source told The Times that the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is so critical that London cannot deploy forces to protect commercial shipping in the region at this time. The source added that once hostilities cease, efforts can be made to support the safe reopening of the area for public transportation.
