Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to either strike a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He warned of severe consequences if no agreement is reached, emphasising that “time is running out” before action will be taken.
Keir Starmer stands firm against US pressure over the Iran conflict, refusing to commit British warships to the Strait of Hormuz. This principled stance has garnered a significant approval boost amid rising tensions. Starmer must maintain this resolve for the upcoming challenges ahead.
