British foreign minister Ed Miliband has urged an “all-out diplomatic effort” to end the conflict between Iran and the United States, warning a stalemate of “no war, no peace” was causing economic damage, AFP reports.

Welcoming comments by US President Donald Trump overnight that a return to major combat operations was unlikely, as well as mediation efforts by Qatar, Miliband said at the G7 in Paris: “We need to move beyond the ‘no war, no peace’ stalemate, which is causing deep economic pain for our countries.”
