“Iran’s Sabre-Rattling Should Not Intimidate UK,” Wes Streeting Says

British Health Secretary Wes Streeting said Iran’s “sabre-rattling” should not intimidate the UK, as he criticised inflammatory rhetoric during the ongoing Middle East crisis. Streeting said it was “disappointing” that talks between the US and Iran had not yet produced a breakthrough, and argued diplomacy requires persistence. He also urged judging President Donald Trump by actions rather than statements, following social media comments he described as “incendiary” and “outrageous.” Streeting added the UK remained focused on achieving a sustainable end to the war and preventing nuclear ambitions.
