Prime minister says Iran’s nuclear programme is a ‘grave threat to international security’
Keir Starmer has backed the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and called on Iran to return to negotiations, saying the country’s nuclear programme was a “grave threat to international security”.
Donald Trump announced overnight that the US had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, joining Israel’s attack on the Tehran regime.
There was no UK involvement in the action. Starmer and the foreign secretary, David Lammy, had pushed for a diplomatic solution amid fears a wider action could further destabilise the region.
The UK has no fucking business saying they’re being dragged into anything. This whole thing is their goddamn fault. All of this. Every single conflict in the Middle East for the last hundred years has been their fault. This is literally two of their biggest fuck ups fighting each other.
