British PM #KeirStarmer says that while the #UK didn’t participate in the attack on #Iran, its planes provided air defense for its people & allies in the region.
“We’ve stepped up protections from British bases & personnel to their highest level,” #Starmer said.
He didn’t comment on the attacks by the #US & #Israel, but condemned Iran’s response that included strikes on many #MiddleEast #allies.

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.
