Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the Prime Minister of the UK, Keir Starmer, stressed that the country is not going to be dragged into the war.
"And now the other front, the other war, which is the Iran war, which I know is causing huge concern. People look at their screens, and they're worried when they see explosions, infrastructure blown up, the rhetoric that goes with it, worried about whether this is going to escalate even further, and therefore it's really important that I reiterate where I stand, and where this government stands. Because this is not our war, and we are not going to be dragged into it," he said.
"Yes, of course, we will defend British lives and British interests in the region. We'll stand by our allies in the Gulf region. But we're not going to get dragged in. That's my values, that's my principles, and that's what we've applied to our decisions, whatever the pressure and whoever it's coming from," he added.
