British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday said he would not “yield” to pressure to join the Iran war after US President Donald Trump threatened to scrap a UK trade deal.



“We’re not going to get dragged into this war. It is not our war,” Starmer told parliament.



“I’m not going to change my mind. I’m not going to yield. It is not in our national interest to join this war,” the Labour leader added.
