Productive talks between Trump and Iran are welcome as Britain wants de-escalation in the Middle East and the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said, according to Reuters.

Asked about Trump’s announcement that he would postpone strikes against Iranian power plants following “very good” conversations with Tehran, Starmer’s spokesperson said: “Any reports of productive talks are welcome.”

“We’ve always said that swift resolution to the war is in global interests and the Strait of Hormuz specifically needs to be reopened,” the spokesperson told reporters.
