"Unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force. We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. This is not Iraq. This is not endless. Our generation knows better, and so does this president."
"I do believe the American president and the Israelis are right in what they are doing. I find the actions of our Prime Minister - or the inactions, perhaps I should say, of our Prime Minister - frankly pathetic. I do believe that Starmer's actions don't just threaten the special relationship, but probably he has posed, or did pose, a major threat to Nato."
"The Prime Minister's position as pathetic weakness, accusing him of appeasement and criticizing what he called vacillation, equivocation, hedging, indecision, and paralysis. Any apparent shift in the government's tone amounted to little more than a breakdown in the middle of the road."
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth held a press conference defending military operations against Iran, rejecting comparisons to Iraq and characterizing the conflict as finite rather than endless. He criticized UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for refusing to grant access to RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia air bases, contrasting his hesitation with leaders supporting the military campaign. Hegseth stated the administration did not initiate the conflict but is committed to concluding it under President Trump. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and former Attorney General Sir Michael Ellis echoed criticism of Starmer, describing his position as weak, pathetic, and constituting appeasement that threatens both the US-UK special relationship and NATO cohesion.
