LONDON, April ⁠14 (Reuters) - British finance minister ⁠Rachel Reeves said on Tuesday ‌she was "very frustrated and angry" over what she said was the ​United States' failure ⁠to have a ⁠clear exit plan or objectives ⁠for the ‌war in Iran, according to the ⁠Mirror newspaper.

"This is a war ​that ‌we did not start. It ⁠was a ​war that we did not want. I feel ⁠very frustrated and angry ​that the U.S. went into this war without a clear exit ⁠plan, without a clear idea of what they were trying to achieve," Reeves ​told the newspaper.

"And ⁠as a result the Strait ​of Hormuz is ‌now blocked," she ​added.
