Chris Mason: UK's position on Iran is clear but will the US listen?
Published: 6/22/2025

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed America's attacks on Iran with President Trump but was not specifically asked for UK involvement. The British government emphasizes that while informed, the UK did not participate or authorize US military actions. Starmer's stance on de-escalation and concerns over UK involvement were noted, but no direct request was made by President Trump. Future developments may bring back the need for decisive decisions depending on Iran's response.
