Diplomatic tightrope on Iran just got more precarious for Starmer

Sir Keir Starmer opens a sensitive diplomatic yarn all week on Iran.

USA’s air strikes last night The difficulties faced by the Prime Minister can continue for months.

Sir Keir Repeated Calls of subtraction It is not clearly taken into account by the White House.

Nevertheless, Britain avoided direct participation in the military action and tried to claim that British diplomats were a solid and valuable relationship with US President Donald Trump.

The response from the ministers was not the tools they wanted, but they supported the result.

The UK did not explicitly approve the method, but the result – a delay in Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons – they claim that it is compared to the national interest of England.

Sir Keir’s position has changed since Tuesday, when Trump would not intervene after sitting next to a G7 dinner in Canada.

“I was sitting right next to President Trump, so I had no doubt, I had a level of agreement in my mind.”

Only four days later, the President intervened. Did Prime Minister Trump read it wrong? Or did the president, the center of the foreign policy approach, have just changed his mind?

No 10 did not tell us that we were given an advanced warning about the US action, but he was not asked to join the UK. We don’t know why.

US B-2 Stealth bombers had speculation that Britain could use the UK’s Diego Garcia air base as a road point on the way to Iran in the Indian Ocean.

Instead, according to the Pentagon, “Operation Midnight Hammer Operation” contained B-2s flying uninterruptedly for 18 hours to achieve its goals from Missouri.

It was a difficult demand to give for help from England.

At the summit of the government by giving advice in a series of scenarios with Attorney General Lord Hermer, discussions were discussed at the top of the government about the legality of the British participation.

When the next steps in the conflict are uncertain, the US may demand military support from the UK in the coming weeks – making more difficult decisions for the Prime Minister.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted that US attacks will begin a long conflict, “This is absolutely not open -ended”.

Nevertheless, both the Foreign Affairs, the Community and the Development Office (FCDO) and the Ministry of Defense (MOD) argues that they are afraid of retaliation from Iran.

Therefore, British diplomats are planning a flight to help “vulnerable British citizens and addicts who want to leave the Palestinian regions of Israel and occupied Palestinian regions at the beginning of next week.

Defense sources told me that the protection of the British armed forces in the Middle East has been strengthened in the last few hours and that additional warrior jets have been strengthened in the region and “high preparation”.

A British diplomat, Foreign Minister David Lammy’s Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and Middle East ambassador Steve Witkoff, as shown by a long meeting on Friday, said the UK-US relations remained strong.

Another source of senior government said: “We know how to support [our allies] without rape on the legal ground. “

However, we do not know whether Iran responds or whether the British or army cannot be targeted. Starmer’s high -wire action has become even more dangerous.
