Donald Trump and Tony Blair weigh in on UK’s Iran response | BBC Newscast


Today, we look at the extent to which the lessons learned from the Iraq war has shaped the UK’s response to the war in Iran.

Keir Starmer has taken a position somewhere between full support of Donald Trump’s actions, and direct criticism of them.

In a post on Truth Social, the US president criticised the UK for being less than 100% supportive, saying ‘we will remember’ and "We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!"

On Friday, former Labour Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair told a private event that the UK should have backed the strikes from the beginning.

But is Keir Starmer’s decision making being guided by some of the failures of the 2003 Iraq war, which Blair led the UK into?
