Trump and UK Prime Minister Discuss Tensions in Strait of Hormuz Amid Escalating Threats to Iran

Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a telephone conversation. The telephone discussion between the two leaders was regarding the latest tense situation in West Asia.

According to BBC news, their discussion was specifically focused on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring the resumption of global shipping.

According to the British Prime Minister's spokesperson, both leaders agreed on the necessity of immediately opening the Strait of Hormuz to ensure stability in the global energy market.

This discussion took place at a time when there was a growing risk of a major impact on global fuel supply and prices after Iran closed this strategically important waterway. Meanwhile, only 24 hours remain of the 48-hour 'deadline' given by US President Trump to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump issued a stern warning via his social media platform 'Truth Social', stating, 'If Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz unconditionally, the US will completely destroy all of Iran's power plants.'

Following Trump's threatening ultimatum, Iran also reacted strongly. Iran warned that it would retaliate if the US launched any attack.
