Keir Starmer has said the conflict engulfing the Middle East could continue “for some time” as he insisted the best way forward in the longer term was a negotiated settlement with Iran.
The prime minister said the UK was doing “everything we can” to de-escalate the situation, a clear contrast to the US president, who is focused on regime change and has said it was “too late” for Tehran to negotiate.
He defended his decision to block initial offensive strikes by the US and Israel at the weekend, saying he stood by his judgment and denying it had damaged the special relationship.
Starmer has faced some criticism from Gulf states and Cyprus for not doing enough to protect regional allies and British citizens there from Iranian strikes. He has also been subject to personal attacks from Trump, including that he was “not Winston Churchill”.
But the prime minister has urged the US president to de-escalate the conflict and negotiate with Iran to abandon its nuclear programme. Trump, meanwhile, has said he needs to be personally involved in selecting Iran’s next leader.
Starmer insisted that “all ministers” on the national security council had supported the UK position on the use of British bases, rejecting reports he had faced cabinet opposition led by the energy secretary, Ed Miliband. The Guardian understands, however, that all options were discussed at the NSC meeting on Friday.
In response to claims his response had been characterised by “indecision, prevarication and under-preparation”, the prime minister told reporters the UK would use “military and diplomatic strength” to protect British citizens, and would deploy four more Typhoon fighter jets and two anti-missile helicopters to Cyprus on Thursday.

Can’t do that. All the counter parties have blowed up!
Yeah, because negotiation with the Iranians has worked so well in the past.
🙄🤦♂️

Jan 1945 - Winston Churchill has said the conflict engulfing Europe could continue “for some time” as he insisted the best way forward in the longer term was a negotiated settlement with Nazi Germany.
Somebody should tell Starmer we, the United States of America, do not take directions from his puny self. There is no “special relationship” anymore. We don’t need him and what is left of their military to assist us in anything anymore.
Do NOT negotiate with terrorists.
Kill them.
They have proved they negotiate in bad faith.
Their objective would be to buy time to safeguard their remaining arsenal and cause more trouble.
Unconditional Surrender. That is their best hope.
We ARE negotiating. This IS diplomacy. Starmer IS a moron.
Keir is way over his head. He’s scared of his own shadow.
,,, how can that dumpster be the UK Prime Minister? One of the reasons why Iran is getting caned is because they wouldn't negotiate on anything.
Trump is trying to get it to the point where Iranians
select their government.
None of our business.
If they vote FAIRLY for a Dictatorship,
Theocracy, Confederacy, or what ever,
so be it. But they made that choice.
It was not forced on them.
Did anyone ask Steer Karma for his opinion?
IF history has taught us anything, unconditional surrender is the only way to go, WW II ended with unconditional surrender and the end result compared to the Korean war could not be any more obvious.
Looks like Queer Starmer wants the mullahs to stay in power.
Nothing surprising there. 🙄
FWIW, Keir is Farsi for penis.
“

I really doubt this. Verify please.
Trump doesnt suffer fools.
Shut up Keir!
starmer is such a leader
wants to be the first to grab his ankles
