28 Feb 2026
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the joint attack on Iran by Israel and the US, Ed Davey, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said:
"The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.
"The Iranian people deserve to live free from a brutal regime. Donald Trump's unilateral and illegal military action won't deliver freedom, peace and security. It will only unleash more bloodshed."
