UK PM Starmer tours Gulf states to stabilize fragile US-Iran ceasefire
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Doha, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar on April 10, 2026, to support ongoing US-Iran ceasefire negotiations and discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Starmer emphasized that significant diplomatic work remains to restore regional stability and global energy flows through one of the world's most critical shipping routes. The ceasefire represents a major diplomatic achievement after regional tensions, and its sustainability depends on coordinated Gulf state backing. UK involvement signals broader international commitment to preventing renewed conflict that could disrupt global oil markets and shipping.
