British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will advocate for Lebanon's inclusion in the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, following a two-week pause in conflict announced by the US. This comes after Israel intensified its bombing campaign in Lebanon, resulting in numerous casualties, while the US Vice-President stated Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire deal with Iran. Cooper will emphasize the need to prevent a return to conflict, ensure no further Iranian threats to its neighbors, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed in response to US and Israeli attacks. The closure of this crucial waterway has impacted global fuel and fertilizer prices, affecting economies worldwide. Cooper will address City leaders, stressing the importance of keeping the shipping route open for global trade.
