Prime minister says Iran’s nuclear programme is a ‘grave threat to international security’

Keir Starmer has backed the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and called on Iran to return to negotiations, saying the country’s nuclear programme was a “grave threat to international security”.

Donald Trump announced overnight that the US had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, joining Israel’s attack on the Tehran regime.

There was no UK involvement in the action. Starmer and the foreign secretary, David Lammy, had pushed for a diplomatic solution amid fears a wider action could further destabilise the region.

        Not only cocks of fascists, just anyone in power really. Not just 2025 either, basically any time in all calander formats. Sucks to be a diplomat. Still, my personal opinion is we’d be worse of without them. Planet might have been fully nuked by now without those cocksuckers. Please dont mistake me for a homephobe who doesn’t like it when men suck each other off, it’s just that there havent been enough powerful women to justify adding /pussylickers.

        The only law in the world is that he who has the most raw power makes the law. Might makes right and shit. Unfortunately, the rest are idealistic illusions to give a false sense of civilization, security, justice and order to the masses.
