UK Stresses ‘Urgent Need’ to Reopen Hormuz Strait

Eagle Intelligence Reports • April 2, 2026 •

British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper stressed Thursday the “urgent need” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as she convened a meeting of more than 40 countries on the vital shipping route.

Cooper said Iran’s “recklessness” in blockading the waterway was “hitting our global economic security” as she kicked off the virtual meeting. The strait has been virtually closed since the US-Israeli war against Iran started on February 28. (AFP)
