Starmer Calls for Diplomatic Restraint
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the recent military strikes launched by Iran against the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday. The attacks, which involved a combination of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, represent a significant breach of the recent regional calm.
In an official statement, the Prime Minister’s office confirmed that Starmer urged Tehran to pursue diplomatic channels immediately to prevent a broader conflict. Starmer emphasized that the UK stands in full solidarity with its Gulf partners and reiterated the British government's commitment to regional security amidst the rising threat of an iran war.
The UAE Ministry of Defense reported that its air defense systems successfully intercepted 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles, and four unmanned aerial vehicles. This incident marks the first direct hostile action by Iran against the Gulf state since the regional ceasefire was established nearly four weeks ago.
