‘No assessment’ UK is being targeted by Iran, British premier says
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says there is no assessment that the UK is being targeted by Iran, despite recent military developments in the region. An emergency Cobra meeting will be held to examine the economic impact of the conflict on household finances.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that the government continually reviews potential threats, but current intelligence does not indicate the UK is at risk from Iran. The Israeli army claimed Iran has missiles that can reach London. Iran had unsuccessfully fired ballistic missiles at a US-UK military base. Starmer emphasized the need to de-escalate Middle East tensions. An emergency Cobra meeting will address the conflict's economic impact, particularly on household finances. The meeting will include the Bank of England and other bodies to discuss mitigating cost-of-living pressures.
