British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has endorsed the US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, emphasizing the global security threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
In a statement on X Starmer decreed Iran an international threat , in his words: “Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat.
“The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the region is a priority. We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.” He added
However, his stance with United States has generated controversial argument on the social medium with some British calling him war monger, comparing him to the former prime minister Tony Blair and accusing him of being on the wrong side of history.
Some of the opinions on Starmer’s stance read;
@emmaSzewczak: “The genuinely baffling realisation that Starmer is even worse than Blair, who at least managed to marginally improve conditions for the domestic poor whilst carrying out *his* middle eastern war crimes.”
@cmxcerys: “you are a spineless coward. talking about international security when you have been allowing israel to commit genocide.”
@RedCollectiveUK: “You forgot to mention: 1). Iran has no nuclear weapons. 2). Iran isn’t accused of building any. 3). Iran was in diplomatic talks when Israel attacked. 4). The US attack is a war crime. 5). The Israeli attacks are war crimes. 6). The UK is complicit. Now, fuck off @Keir_Starmer.”
@isssagaro: “Starmer epitomises why people have lost faith in politicians. Kept in power only because of his robotic obsequiousness to those pulling his strings. Not a leader, just a war mongering lickspittle.”
