El Mundo

British Prime Minister Starmer is meeting with many countries. They want to open the Strait of Hormuz. This is because of problems with trade routes and Iran’s actions.

Prime Minister Starmer is holding a meeting with 35 other countries to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has blocked the waterway, stopping the movement of important goods. The goal is to make sure ships can safely pass through the area. There are concerns about global instability, especially because of the situation in the Middle East.
