As tensions spiral in the Middle East following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has warned of a “risk of escalation beyond the region” and called for immediate diplomatic efforts to prevent further conflict.

 

“We’re doing everything we can to stabilise the situation,” Starmer said, urging Iran to “return to the negotiating table” and restart nuclear discussions.

 

The U.S. bombed three major nuclear sites Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo overnight, in what President Donald Trump called a successful and necessary strike. Though the UK had no involvement in the operation, Starmer confirmed he was briefed in advance, and is now set to chair an emergency COBRA response meeting.

 

Starmer emphasized that the UK’s position remains clear:

“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. But escalation is a risk not just to the Middle East, but beyond the region that’s why all our focus has been on de-escalating, getting people back around to negotiate.”

 

Appearing on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds echoed the government’s stance, stating:

“We wanted diplomacy. Iran didn’t listen. That was a mistake. But preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is in our national interest.”

 

The airstrikes were met with praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called the move “historic” and thanked Trump for changing the course of the conflict, which has unfolded rapidly over the last 10 days.

 

However, the danger of regional and global fallout looms. Iran has vowed retaliation, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has warned that any U.S. military action would bring “irreparable damage.”

With the region at a crossroads, Starmer’s message is clear: Diplomacy must prevail or the world risks watching this conflict spiral far beyond its borders.
