Downing Street Spokesperson says the leaders agreed on the need for close coordination as events evolved in Iran and PM Starmer reiterated his support for those who exercised their right to peaceful protest.

What it means

This statement from Downing Street emphasizes a consensus on the importance of coordinating responses to situations in Iran, suggesting heightened geopolitical sensitivity in the region. The reaffirmation of support for peaceful protests could lead to tensions that affect energy markets, particularly WTI, given Iran's role as a significant oil producer. Traders should monitor potential supply disruptions or escalations that might influence commodity prices in the short term.
