Trump Raises Pressure on Iran to Make Deal 'Before It Is Too Late'
British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper said 40 countries want the shipping route reopened as Iran faces pressure over 20% of global oil flows.
- On Thursday, British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper and representatives from 40 countries met virtually to discuss the Strait of Hormuz crisis, demanding the "immediate and unconditional reopening" of the vital shipping route.
- The Strait normally carries upwards of 20 per cent of global oil supplies, and closure of the passage has spiked oil prices while disrupting shipments of key supplies.
- Bahrain has drafted a UN Security Council resolution calling on countries "to use all necessary measures" to guarantee shipping, though the proposal faces opposition from veto-wielding Russia and China.
- French President Emmanuel Macron criticized President Donald Trump's approach, calling it "unrealistic" to urge allies to unblock the waterway by force, while Trump maintains the strait could open "naturally."
- US State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott maintained that diplomacy remains an option, though he emphasized Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons, calling it an "intolerable threat.
