Starmer 'not going to yield' to pressure from Trump on Iran war
"I'm not going to change my mind, I'm not going to yield, it is not in our national interest to join this war and we will not do so."
"This is a war that we did not start. It was a war that we did not want. I feel very frustrated and angry that the US went into this war without a clear exit plan."
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has firmly stated he will not yield to pressure from the US to join the conflict in Iran. He emphasized that it is not in the national interest for the UK to participate in the war. Starmer's position has remained consistent despite criticism from US President Donald Trump, who suggested the UK was not supportive. Chancellor Rachel Reeves expressed frustration over the US's lack of a clear exit plan for the war, highlighting the negative impact on families in both the UK and the US.
