Petition: Keir Starmer – Oppose Trump’s war on Iran

'Donald Trump has just joined Israel’s war on Iran, by dropping US bombs on the country directly.

This is an extremely perilous moment for the world. The UN call it a “dangerous escalation”.

Trump does not intend to stop here. He is already threatening “far greater” attacks on Iran unless it gives in to his demands.

In response, Keir Starmer called for Iran to “return to the negotiating table”. This is not a response that meets the moment.

The UK must urgently call for the US to stop bombing Iran and oppose Trump’s war.'

I have to question who realy is in charge

The leader of the so called free world or some bloke in the Middle East pulling his strings? 

Still who knows, finally Hans Blix's Weapons of Mass Distraction, sorry Destruction, could be found 😅

What exactly was Donald "jackass Trump" thinking when he approved military action? Shame he doesn't think first, about the consequences of his actions.

Useful article on how Trump withdrawing from the Iran nukes deal helped lead to the current situation.

And a 2018 article from Beeb

Can't reverse history but why has the world forgotten Trump version 1 dreadful decision

The guy is a megalomaniac.

mistake one, was the USA electing him for a second term

mistake two was the bullet with his name on, missed. Must try harder. 

mistake three, Trump wearing that dumb red cap with "make America great again"

You’ve made a mistake on all three.

Agree 100% that this is an extremely dangerous escalation. That said I suspect where Starmer is concerned there is almost nothing to be gained from directly criticising Trump. His calling for deescalation and negotiation may feel weak, but is just realpolitik.

Lammy and Starmer saying come and continue to negotiate which is the sensible approach, forgetting to remember that Trump was going to attack another sovereign state and potentially begin WW 3, neither of which he has any right to do. 

The scary thing is Iran saying their reprisal with be "ever changing". Those are chilling words. Wouldn't surprise me if they take out the White House and Israeli PM in two strikes.
