Starmer Urges US Not to Give Up on Diplomatic Path With Iran

Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on President Donald Trump to keep the door open to talks over Iran’s nuclear program, in the clearest sign yet of the UK leader’s concern about possible American military action against the country.

Starmer used a brief media appearance on Thursday to reaffirm his case for de-escalation in the Middle East, even as US officials laid the ground for potential strikes on Iranian nuclear targets. High-profile American intervention into what has so far been largely Israel’s operation risks drawing others into the conflict, including the UK.
