Trump calls Strait of Hormuz 'something that we don't need'

U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer spoke with President Donald Trump Sunday about the ongoing situation in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a spokesperson for the prime minister's office.

“The leaders discussed the ongoing situation in the Middle East and the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to end the disruption to global shipping, which is driving up costs worldwide," the spokesperson said.

“The Prime Minister also expressed his condolences for the American service personnel who have lost their lives during the conflict," according to the spokesperson, who added that the leaders "agreed to keep in touch.”

The spokesperson also said that Starmer had spoken Sunday with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and "discussed the situation in the Middle East, including the impact of the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz on international shipping."

“They agreed to discuss the ongoing conflict further in their meeting tomorrow, among other bilateral issues,” the spokesperson said.

President Trump on Saturday called for other countries, including the U.K., to step in and assist with the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command said Sunday that Iranian claims that the U.S. is using one-way drones to attack Gulf countries is a "lie."

"The Iranian regime’s foreign minister claims that the United States is using one-way attack drones to attack Gulf countries and shifting the blame to Iran. LIE," a CENTCOM post on X on Sunday morning said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed in an interview Sunday with the media outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "the Americans had developed a drone similar to the Iranian 'Shahed' drone called 'Lucas,' which is used to target objectives in Arab countries." Araghchi said the information is currently being reviewed.

The U.S. military has deployed its own one-way attack drones known as LUCAS, for Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System, in its attacks on Iran.

"Iranian forces have launched thousands of drones AND missiles at its neighbors, indiscriminately targeting civilian hotels, commercial airports, residential communities and economic infrastructure. U.S. attack drones are only targeting Iranian military capabilities to eliminate threats posed to the region. TRUTH," the CENTCOM post also said.
