British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is set to advocate for Lebanon's inclusion in the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, as tensions escalate following a recent announcement by US President Donald Trump. Despite the ceasefire, Israel has intensified its bombing campaign in Lebanon, resulting in at least 254 deaths. Iran has responded by halting oil tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route, which has led to rising global prices for fuel and food. Cooper will highlight that the conflict's repercussions extend far beyond the region, affecting economies worldwide. She emphasizes the need for immediate international cooperation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ensure the free movement of goods, stating that the ongoing blockade is holding the global economy hostage. Cooper's address will call for urgent negotiations to prevent further conflict and secure a long-term resolution in the region.
