Wes Streeting attacks Trump’s ‘outrageous’ Iran war rhetoric
Planeloads of negotiators and too little time: US and Iran’s 21 hours of talks
AI Summary
Wes Streeting, the UK Health Secretary, criticized Donald Trump's "outrageous" rhetoric regarding Iran, following the breakdown of US-Iran peace talks held in Pakistan. The talks, aimed at securing a lasting peace, failed after 21 hours of negotiation, with the US Vice-President, JD Vance, citing Iran's unwillingness to commit to not developing nuclear weapons as the reason. Keir Starmer and the Prime Minister have urged both sides to continue seeking a resolution and maintain the current ceasefire. Streeting acknowledged the strain on UK-US relations due to disagreements over the Iran war and other issues, but emphasized the shared interests and close friendship between the two nations. He stressed the importance of a breakthrough in the Iran war for global stability, given its widespread impact.
