UK: We Will Not Be Drawn into a War with Iran and Are Seeking a Quick Solution

SadaNews - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that his country will not be drawn into a war with Iran, emphasizing that the British government continues to work towards reaching a swift resolution to the current crisis. He clarified that Arab coordination is underway daily during this sensitive phase, aiming to contain escalation and prevent the widening of confrontation.

Starmer pointed out that when fighting stops, it will be essential to reach some form of agreement through direct negotiations with Iran, considering that opening the Strait of Hormuz is not an easy task under the current circumstances.
