US Ally Supports Trump’s Attack
LONDON— British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with President Donald J. Trump following the U.S. military’s precision airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“Iran’s nuclear program is a serious danger to global security,” Starmer stated in a post on X. “The United States has taken action to reduce that threat. Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.”
Trump Acts Decisively to Protect American and Global Interests
President Trump’s decision to authorize targeted airstrikes on Iranian enrichment facilities came after diplomatic talks with Tehran collapsed. The strikes, carried out by U.S. Air Force bombers early Sunday morning (local time), were aimed at halting Iran’s nuclear weapons development.
The bold move followed over a week of escalating Israeli operations targeting Iranian military assets—signaling a coordinated stand against Iranian aggression.
Iran Issues Threats While Allies Rally Behind Trump
In response, the Iranian regime threatened retaliation and floated the possibility of blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passageway for global oil shipments. The threat raised concerns about potential disruptions to energy markets and regional stability.
But America is not standing alone. Prime Minister Starmer joined German and French leaders in a joint warning to Iran:
“We urge Iran to refrain from further escalation that could destabilize the region.”
Call for Diplomacy—But From a Position of Strength
Despite backing the U.S. military response, Starmer stressed the need for a peaceful resolution.
“This is a critical time,” he said. “We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and pursue a diplomatic path forward.”
Reuters reports that Starmer also spoke with the leaders of Oman and Jordan, and all agreed that the region cannot afford another prolonged conflict. Diplomacy, they said, must remain an option—but only if Iran is willing to act in good faith.
GOP Backs Trump’s Tough Stance—Democrats Waver
On Capitol Hill, most Republican lawmakers praised President Trump’s swift action, calling it a necessary step to defend U.S. interests and prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
However, some Democrat leaders are already raising concerns and seeking to limit Trump’s ability to take further military steps—once again highlighting the deep divide in Washington over how to handle America’s adversaries.
The Bottom Line:
President Trump is taking the tough but necessary steps to ensure Iran never develops nuclear weapons. With international allies lining up behind him and the American people watching closely, Trump is showing the world what real leadership looks like—peace through strength.
