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.

    Iran has bent over backwards to cooperate with the Zionist managed hysteria over it’s (until now) non existent nuclear weapons program including installing live streamed videos for the IAEA to monitor centrifuges from Vienna and even sticking to the JCPOA for a year after Trump tore it up and even after the Israelis started murdering their scientists.

    Enough is enough. Iran needs nukes or it will be regime changed with millions dead and millions more refugees streaming into Europe.

    Regime change has been Netanyahu’s plan for 30 years.

      Regime change isn’t the plan, its just the excuse. There aren’t any rebels to back in Iran. There isn’t an Iranian congress in exile. Best you’ve got is the heir to the Shah and some trostkyite cult.

      Israel’s goal is to turn Iran into Libya. More genocidal destruction.
