Keir Starmer Says Post-Ceasefire Israeli Strikes on Lebanon ‘Wrong’
Starmer said the strikes should have been covered by the ceasefire as Wednesday became Lebanon’s deadliest day since the conflict began, officials said.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, visiting Gulf nations, declared Israeli strikes on Lebanon "wrong" and insisted they "should stop" as the fragile US-Iran ceasefire faces immediate peril.
- Bombardment of Beirut imperils the two-week truce brokered by President Donald Trump, who warned "a whole civilisation will die"—language Starmer vowed he would "never use."
- The United Kingdom is "monitoring" its bases to ensure deployment remains solely for collective self-defence, Starmer confirmed, emphasizing a "lawful basis" is essential before committing personnel.
- Responding to the strikes, Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz, though Starmer declared "toll-free navigation" for vessels must be maintained as part of the ceasefire framework.
- Starmer stated Britain is "doing things differently" to strengthen energy, defence, and economic security, meeting King Hamad and Crown Prince Salman during his regional tour in Bahrain.
