"Starmer is going to the Gulf for a number of reasons. Firstly you will have seen last week with the foreign secretary, and this week with our officials, where we have played a real leading role bringing together about 40 countries looking at the challenge that we have in the strait [of Hormuz] and how we can make sure that opens up as quickly as possible to bring some normality back to that system."
"I welcome the ceasefire agreement reached overnight, which will bring a moment of relief to the region and the world. Together with our partners we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement and re-open the Strait of Hormuz."
Sarah Jones discussed Keir Starmer's visit to the Gulf, emphasizing its focus on regional stability and the ceasefire between the US and Iran. She highlighted the UK's role in uniting around 40 countries to address challenges in the Strait of Hormuz. Starmer aims to observe the efforts of British personnel in the region while prioritizing the protection of British interests and citizens.
