The UK Prime Minister has clearly refused to participate in an offensive strike against Iran.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded to President Trump: "I have made it clear that we will not participate in an offensive strike against Iran."

Comment: Starmer's public rejection of participating in an offensive strike against Iran is a realistic choice for the UK to learn from the Iraq War and refuse to pay the price for American adventures. The Labour government does not want to be tied to the US-Israel warhorse, both fearing domestic public backlash and worrying about the full-scale war in the Middle East affecting Europe's energy and security. This statement also marks that the US-Western alliance is no longer solid, and the strategic differences between Europe and the Trump administration in the Middle East have become public.
