John Haeli, the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, said the government of this country, together with the United States and other partners, will continue to impose economic pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran and will act to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and counter Iran’s “dangerous activities.” The Chancellor of the Exchequer added that London is determined to prevent the Islamic Republic from using the global economy or the UK’s financial system to advance its nuclear program and its destabilizing activities. He also backed the United States’ efforts to reach a diplomatic solution and said that Britain welcomes the intensification of pressure on the Islamic Republic, including in the form of the United States’ “economic removal” operations.
