People’s Financial News, March 15 — UK Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero, Grant Shapps, stated on the 15th that the “best and most comprehensive way” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is to end the conflict. During an interview with UK media on the same day, Shapps said that the current surge in oil and gas prices is caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is very important. The UK hopes to work with allies to achieve the reopening of the strait. “We need to ease this crisis because the best and most comprehensive way to reopen the strait is to end the conflict,” Shapps emphasized. He said that the UK does not want to see Iran possess nuclear weapons but hopes to find a way to end the conflict, which is not in the interest of any party in the world. Shapps also stated that easing the conflict is a consistent policy of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The UK’s initial decision not to participate in strikes against Iran was correct.
