Starmer calls for negotiations after US attacks Iran’s nuclear sites
Starmer backs Trump’s bombing of Iran and calls for negotiations
- Sir Keir Starmer urged Iran to return to negotiations after Donald Trump launched US air strikes on the regime’s nuclear facilities.
- The Prime Minister stated that Iran’s nuclear program is a “grave threat” and the US military action aimed to “alleviate” it.
- The US attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, including the deeply buried Fordo facility, with Donald Trump declaring them “completely and fully obliterated”.
- Donald Trump warned of potential further strikes if Iran retaliates, while Iran’s foreign minister warned of “everlasting consequences” and reserved options for retaliation.
- The UK was not involved in the strikes, which occurred despite Sir Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy advocating for a diplomatic solution.
