Failure of US-Iran negotiations in Pakistan, Starmer calls on parties:

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has held a phone call with the Sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tarik al Said.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "They discussed the peace talks held in Pakistan over the weekend and urged both sides to find a way forward."

"It was vital that there was continuity of the ceasefire and that all parties avoided any further escalation, the leaders agreed."

The spokesman said the prime minister also thanked the Omani leader for their efforts to "rescue sailors from ships in distress in the region" amid the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian attacks.

"Reflecting on international efforts to coordinate the safe passage of maritime transport in the region, the Prime Minister said that following meetings convened by the Foreign Secretary and British military planners, partners continued to work towards restoring freedom of navigation for the long term," they continued.
