Middle East In Chaos After Trumps Iran Strike Starmer Claims
In an apparent attempt to draw a distinction between himself and the US president, Starmer said his focus “providing calm, level-headed leadership in the national interest”.
Addressing the nation from Downing Street, the PM said: “I want to reassure the British public about the action that we are taking while the region has been plunged into chaos.
“My focus is providing calm, level-headed leadership in the national interest.
“That means deploying our military and diplomatic strength to protect our people, and it means having the strength to stand firm by our values and our principles, no matter the pressure to do otherwise.”
