Debate

Middle East: Iran Conflict

Contribution

My Lords, the UK welcomes the agreement between the United States and Iran and commends all involved in securing this diplomatic breakthrough. Our priority now is to support the full implementation of the agreement and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without conditions or restrictions in line with international law. We stand ready to support the right of transit passage, including through a multinational military mission, which we will lead with France, which will be deployed when conditions allow. We will continue to work closely with our Gulf partners to support security and stability for the region.
