British Prime Minister Stamer stated that the UK will not be drawn into a wider conflict with Iran but will work with allies, including European countries, to reopen the key shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz. However, he acknowledged that this will not be easy. Facing criticism from domestic critics and pressure from Trump on providing support for military action against Iran, Stamer emphasized that reopening a vital route for oil and liquefied natural gas transportation is crucial for stabilizing the energy market. He also announced the first batch of financial aid measures triggered by the conflict, which includes providing 53 million (approximately $70.3 million) in aid to the poorest families who rely on heating oil for their daily lives, as the price of this energy source has skyrocketed due to the conflict outbreak.
