LONDON, March 5 – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to hold a news briefing Thursday afternoon to provide an update on the worsening situation in the Middle East, according to a spokesperson from his office.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to meet with reporters at 2 p.m. local time in London, the spokesperson confirmed.
The United Kingdom, which did not participate in the weekend offensive against Iran, has announced plans to relocate military assets to the Middle East following an assault on its military installation in Cyprus.
Earlier this week, Starmer’s administration revealed it would send a naval vessel along with helicopter units equipped with anti-drone technology to help counter Iran’s revenge attacks.
With the U.S.-Iran conflict now in its sixth day, the hostilities have expanded beyond Persian Gulf nations and reached into Asia, leading thousands of tourists and residents stranded in the region to attempt evacuation from the Middle East.
