Starmer Says Trump’s Iran Rhetoric Is Contrary to UK Values

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Donald Trump’s rhetoric this week threatening to destroy Iran does not fit with British values, the latest public disagreement with the US president amid strained ties between the two nations.

“Let me be really clear about this. They are not words I would use — ever use — because I come at this with our British values and principles,” Starmer told ITV in an interview when asked about Trump’s Truth Social post Tuesday warning Tehran to come to a deal or face dire consequences.
