LONDON, March 23 – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that security evaluations show no indication that Iran is directing attacks toward mainland Britain.
“We carry out assessments all the time in order to keep us safe, and there’s no assessment that we’re being targeted in that way,” Starmer told reporters.
The Prime Minister’s statement came in response to questions about potential Iranian threats to Britain following weekend news reports indicating Iran had launched two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint US-UK military installation located in the Indian Ocean.
Starmer additionally stated that any efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz would require thoughtful analysis and a workable strategy. He emphasized that protecting British interests and reducing tensions remain his top priority.
