Traditional Unionist Voice — North Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 March 2026

Debate

Strait of Hormuz

Contribution

Listening to some hon. Members this afternoon, one is left wondering whether President Trump or Iran is the enemy. The truth is that our bases have been attacked. Are we not, therefore, inevitably already involved in this conflict? The Government seem not to want to face up to that reality. When it comes to the strait of Hormuz, does it therefore follow that we are simply going to rely on the USA to open it? Have we any plan?
