"In relation to the language about destroying a civilisation... that was wrong. A threat to Iranian civilians in that way is wrong. These are civilians, let's remember, who have suffered immeasurable harm by the regime in Iran for many, many long years."
"These words are a stark reminder of how reckless, immoral, and completely outside the bounds of international law this president is. Trump's plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz will only escalate this crisis and jeopardise the precarious ceasefire."
Sir Keir Starmer condemned Donald Trump's threat that a 'whole civilisation' would die unless Iran complied with demands, stating it was wrong. The UK Prime Minister emphasized that he would not have used such language. The UK remains focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz shipping route while staying out of the conflict. Despite a conditional ceasefire between the US and Iran, tensions continue, with Israel bombing Lebanon and Iran restricting access to the strait. Starmer highlighted the need for diplomatic efforts to address the crisis.
