Gate News message, April 26 — U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss the ongoing Middle East situation and emphasized the “urgent need to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.”
Starmer noted that weeks of blockade have left numerous crew members stranded in the Gulf region. The UK warned the disruption poses “severe consequences” for the global economy and British citizens’ cost of living.
Iran cautioned the same day that the waterway “will not return to its previous state under any circumstances,” signaling a hardened stance on the shipping corridor.
