According to the Financial Times, British Prime Minister Starmer alerted his cabinet to a possible US attack on Iran, just 24 hours after insisting that Trump had not said he would be "drawn into this conflict". British officials said the situation was "serious and volatile", while the prime minister's team discussed whether Trump might seek to strike Iran's nuclear facilities from the joint US-UK air base in Diego Garcia. Britain has so far stayed out of the Israeli-Iranian war and is determined not to do anything that could lead to the closure of the British embassy in Tehran, a key Western diplomatic stronghold in the Middle East. According to officials familiar with the talks, Starmer discussed the possibility of a US attack on Iran at a meeting of the Whitehall emergency committee on Wednesday local time. Participants included senior cabinet ministers, military chiefs, intelligence chiefs, and US Ambassador Peter Mandelson.
