Miliband, serving as Foreign Secretary, was in Washington for his first official meeting with Rubio to discuss Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. The two emphasized the importance of open transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and their shared commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Miliband expressed hope for a lasting ceasefire in Iran and praised Burnham's shift in North Sea oil policy.",
