UK Foreign Secretary: Stalemate with Iran Harmful to West, Diplomatic Effort Needed

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband emphasized on Tuesday the need for a “full diplomatic effort” to settle the dispute between Iran and the United States. He further cautioned that the current “neither war nor peace” status quo is leading to economic losses.

Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Paris, Miliband welcomed recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, who deemed a resumption of large-scale military operations unlikely. He also highlighted Qatar’s mediation role, stating, “We must move beyond the ‘neither war nor peace’ stalemate; a situation that has caused deep economic damage to our countries.”
