Starmer urges diplomacy as Trump considers Iran attack

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has urged negotiations over military action amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, as former U.S. President Trump considers joining Israeli strikes. While some UK Conservatives back U.S. intervention, legal concerns have been raised about potential UK involvement. Starmer emphasized de‑escalation and diplomacy, especially regarding Iran’s nuclear program, and declined to disclose legal advice. Foreign Secretary David Lammy is in talks with U.S., EU, and Iranian officials, the BBC has reported. Meanwhile, the UK is preparing evacuation plans for British nationals in Israel.
