British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made clear Wednesday that the West’s response to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz will be heavy on diplomacy — and light on hard power — a stance already frustrating President Trump as the US looks for partners to help secure the global shipping lane. “This is not our war. We will not be drawn into the conflict,” Starmer said bluntly, ruling out any immediate military role for Britain even as tensions threaten global energy supplies.
