The UK Met Office forecast that 2026 will likely rank as the fourth warmest year on record, with global average temperatures projected to reach 1.35 to 1.53 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Britain's Foreign Office chaired an urgent virtual meeting on April 2 with over 40 foreign ministers regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The US, citing the Iran war as its unilateral action, explicitly refused to participate in this multilateral consultation.
All attending parties reached consensus on core positions: Iran has no right to collect transit fees on passing ships, and freedom of navigation rights cannot be deprived.
After the meeting, the joint statement demanded Iran immediately restore access to this strategic waterway carrying approximately 20% of global oil and gas shipping volume.
Following the conference conclusion, all parties' military planners will launch dedicated consultations next week on mine clearance and escort plans.
The current blockade has lasted over one month, with oil prices breaking through $100 per barrel, causing severe impact on global supply chains and aviation industries.
