TOKYO/LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - British foreign minister Yvette Cooper will cut short an intensive diplomatic tour designed to build consensus around making a ceasefire in the Iran war permanent and on the next steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.Cooper's department is at the centre of a new crisis over Peter Mandelson's appointment as Britain's ambassador to the United States, after the government last week said foreign office officials had overruled a recommendation that he should not be given the role.
