UK Prime Minister refuses to send warships to Strait of Hormuz

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated the UK will not send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, resisting pressure to be drawn into a wider conflict with Iran. He emphasized protecting British citizens from the fallout of Middle East tensions while offering other forms of assistance for the strategic waterway. The decision comes alongside his show of support for Ukraine's President Zelenskiy on separate defense matters.
