What we need here is de-escalation, and that's why we had a statement from a number of countries

last week about what we need to do about the Straits of Hormuz, which obviously needs careful

British lives, but without getting dragged into the war, and that's the clear divide

I've put in place.

Yes, defend our interests, defend British lives, no, not get dragged into the war.
