Reeves steps up criticism of Trump's Iran war, branding it a mistake'
"I think it was a mistake to end those [talks with Iran] and to enter into conflict, because I'm not convinced that we are safer today than we were a few weeks ago."
"The war and particularly the halting of Gulf shipping was damaging the living standards of families and businesses in the UK and the US."
"Entering into the war without clear goals had also laid the foundations for a more protracted conflict that risked setting back progress to end Iran's nuclear ambitions."
"I believe it is through diplomacy, not conflict, that we can best prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon."
Rachel Reeves condemned Donald Trump's military actions against Iran, labeling them a mistake that destabilized the global economy and harmed living standards. She emphasized that breaking off diplomatic talks and initiating conflict did not enhance safety. Reeves expressed frustration over the lack of a clear exit strategy and highlighted the negative impact on families and businesses in the UK and US. She called for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to lower energy prices and criticized the confusion surrounding Trump's objectives, advocating for diplomacy over conflict to address Iran's nuclear ambitions.
