Iran’s UAE strikes condemned by Starmer as Middle East tensions escalate
The UK Prime Minister condemned drone and missile strikes by Iran against the United Arab Emirates amidst escalating Middle East tensions.
Sir Keir Starmer joined calls for de-escalation, urging Iran to engage meaningfully in talks to maintain the current Middle East ceasefire.
A US military commander accused Iran of attempting to “terrorise and threaten” vessels, stating American forces were helping restore international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Two US-flagged cargo ships passed through the critical Strait of Hormuz as Donald Trump sought to reopen the maritime pinchpoint, which had caused a global economic shock.
Iran disputed US claims of sinking its vessels and warned that any foreign military force approaching or entering the Strait of Hormuz would be targeted.
