UK FM meets Iran counterpart as Tehran issues 4-5 day US ultimatum on Hormuz

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband met Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in New York, the first such meeting, amid a new Iranian ultimatum: senior security official Mohsen Rezaei said Washington has four to five days to respond to conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The deadline is previously unknown and the consequences of non-compliance are unspecified, but it signals heightened pressure in the ongoing Hormuz standoff.
