UK sees no evidence of Iran targeting Britain, says Starmer

LONDON: ‌British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday ​there had been no assessment that mainland Britain was being targeted by Iran.
“We carry out assessments all ‌the time in ‌order ​to ‌keep ⁠us safe, ​and there’s ⁠no assessment that we’re being targeted in that way,” Starmer told reporters.
He was asked if ⁠Britain could be ‌targeted ‌by Iran ​after reports at ‌the weekend that ‌Iran had fired two ballistic missiles at the US-UK military base ‌Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Starmer also said ⁠that ⁠any attempt to reopen the Strait of Hormuz needed careful consideration and a viable plan, and that his number one priority was to protect ​British ​interests and de-escalate.
