The Iranian leadership is “utterly abhorrent,” has killed its own people & destabilized the region & should never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, #Starmer said.
He urged de-escalation & a return to negotiations to achieve peace & protect civilians.
“ #Iran can end this now,” he said. “They should refrain from further strikes, give up their weapons program & cease the appalling violence & repression against the Iranian people.”

It’s unclear what #legal justification the #Trump admin will present for the attacks on #Iran, but experts are already skeptical given the #Constitution’s unambiguous statement that only #Congress can declare #war & the absence of a #law akin to the Iraq War-era Authorization for Use of Military Force.
