"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 reopen the Strait of Hormuz."
"The ceasefire comes after Donald Trump threatened 'a whole civilisation will die' if Iran did not agree to end the war and unblock the Strait of Hormuz, leading Downing Street to call again for 'de-escalation'."
"Iran would agree to a ceasefire 'if attacks against Iran are halted'. For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible."
Keir Starmer welcomed the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the US, which aims to bring relief to the region. He plans to discuss diplomatic efforts to uphold the ceasefire during his meetings with Gulf leaders. The ceasefire was reached just before a deadline set by Donald Trump, who had threatened severe consequences if an agreement was not made. Iran's Foreign Minister stated that the ceasefire is conditional on halting attacks against Iran, allowing safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.
