British foreign minister Yvette Cooper stressed Thursday the urgent need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and slammed Iran's recklessness as she convened a meeting of some 40 countries on the vital shipping route.Cooper said Iran's blockading of the waterway was hitting our global economic security as she kicked off the virtual meeting of international allies.
The strait has been virtually closed since the US-Israeli war against Iran started on February 28, impacting global supplies of important commodities including oil, liquid natural gas, and fertiliser.
