Starmer Caught in Iran Dilemma Over US Bombing

In the UK, former British Army Head Lord Richard Dannatt criticized PM Keir Starmer for his stance on Trump’s strikes on Iran, arguing Starmer is "backed the wrong horse." Starmer wants diplomatic solutions but also aims for strong US ties, placing him in a tough spot. Though he now urges Iran to negotiate after US military action, there’s no UK involvement in the strikes. Iran threatens retaliation, complicating future diplomatic talks. Dannatt warns the effectiveness of such talks may be diminished with Iran negotiating from a weakened position.
