Starmer Push for Iran-US Deal, Stability in Gulf

0:00On April 8th, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is calling on world leaders to transform the shaky U.S. Iran ceasefire into a solid long-term deal that restarts oil and gas shipments through the strait of Hormuz. President Trump just announced a two-week pause in the fighting after weeks of intense back and forth that shut down that key waterway and spiked. Energy prices across the U.K. Starmer welcomed the break this morning, stressing the need to back it up with partners and keep the strait open for good while everyday folks here. Feel the pinch from higher fuel costs at the pumps. Trump dialed back his extreme threats last night dropping talk of massive destruction just hours before a deadline after Iran floated at 10 point. Plan he called a solid starting point for talks. Now Starmer heads to the Gulf today to push for stability as all eyes stay on whether this fragile truth holds and eases those global energy strains.
