Starmer: US must negotiate with Iran
“Sir Keir Starmer has told Donald Trump to negotiate with Iran, despite the regime firing missiles at allies across the Middle East. The Prime Minister called on the US to reach a settlement with Tehran, saying it was his “strong view” that the two countries need to “de-escalate” the crisis through talks. The comments threaten to strain the special relationship further, after Sir Keir’s initial decision to block the use of Diego Garcia, the military base in the Chagos Islands, for strikes on Iran. On Thursday, the US president refused to deny reports, first revealed by The Telegraph, that he had described Sir Keir as a “loser”, and repeated that he was “not Winston Churchill”. The Prime Minister remains under growing pressure over his handling of the Iran crisis and faces accusations that he has not done enough to support allies and British bases in the region. Iranian drones hit RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus on Sunday, but Sir Keir took 72 hours to decide to deploy the Type 45 destroyer HMS Dragon. The ship is undergoing welding work and is not expected to reach the island for a fortnight, well after warships sent by France and Spain. Iran continued attacks on Thursday, hitting an airport in Azerbaijan with a drone, injuring four civilians.” – Daily Telegraph
