U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer held a phone conversation yesterday to discuss the latest tensions in the Middle East and the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program.
According to a statement from Downing Street, both leaders “reiterated the great danger Iran’s nuclear program poses to international security” and underscored the importance of Tehran returning to the negotiating table “as soon as possible.”
Earlier in the day, Starmer publicly urged all involved parties to choose the path of diplomacy. However, he also warned that Britain has taken “all necessary measures” to protect its interests in the region should the conflict escalate.
