Starmer calls emergency meeting as UK braces for possible US strike on Iran

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet with cabinet ministers for an emergency discussion amid mounting anticipation over whether the United States will decide to strike Iran, The Guardian reports.
Starmer will convene the United Kingdom’s national emergencies committee, known as COBRA, to “bring together ministers and senior officials to update the UK’s response to the rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East,” says the report.
British deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, who stood in for Starmer at prime minister’s questions while the latter was away at a G7 summit in Canada, tells British MPs that “we agree with President Trump that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, but we’ve been consistent in urging Iran to engage in the diplomatic process and work with the United States, and we continue to support that diplomatic approach,” the report reads.
