UK rejects joining US war on Iran

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has publicly rejected calls for Britain to re-enter the war against Iran, despite pressure from the United States. Starmer announced an emergency meeting to review the consequences of the US-imposed conflict on the UK, stating he would not allow London to be dragged into a war that holds no benefit for it. He cited the energy crisis created by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the economic consequences of the war may persist for a long time.
