The UK's Energy Security and Net Zero Minister, Miliband, stated that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to conflict has led to a sharp rise in oil and gas prices. He emphasized that the most effective way to reopen the strait is to end the conflict. Miliband stressed that the UK does not want Iran to possess nuclear weapons but advocates for de-escalation and working with allies to find a peaceful resolution. He believes that the conflict is not in the interest of any party and supports Prime Minister Starmer's position to avoid involvement in military strikes against Iran.
