Yvette Cooper threatens Iran with sanctions to stop it from blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
Cooper said 40 nations discussed sanctions and other coordinated measures, while 2,000 trapped ships remain stranded as Iran blocks the route.
- Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper led a coalition of over 40 countries demanding the immediate and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz after Iran's actions blocked this vital shipping route, raising global oil prices and trapping about 2,000 vessels and 20,000 seafarers.
- Cooper announced coordinated diplomatic, economic, and military measures, including sanctions, engagement with the International Maritime Organisation, and plans to clear mines to secure the Strait and ensure long-term shipping safety.

- The UK's response prioritizes national interest and international cooperation, aiming to end disruptions caused by Iran's actions, considering sanctions and United Nations diplomatic pressure if the Strait remains closed.
