UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the Iran war shows the need for “closer ties with Europe”. He announced a new summit with EU leaders. Starmer said the UK is “well-placed to weather” the crisis, but warned it “will not be easy”. He stressed the UK will not join the war. “This is not our war,” he said. He added the country remains committed to NATO. Starmer said stronger EU links will help security and the economy. Critics asked what the UK may give up. Rising energy prices remain a major concern for people.
