Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp Leads Charge on Starmer's Iran War Stance.
The Iran War has to be one of the most dangerous and unnecessary wars this century so far. Trump has changed the narrative of why he and his partner in crime, Netanyahu, attacked Iran. First, it was to liberate the Iranian people. Then Iran's support for Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, etc. Then it's Iran enriching uranium and its ballistic missile programme. Since the war began, the Ayatollah Khamenei has been assassinated along with top military commanders. His son is now the new Ayatollah. A girl's school has been bombed, with 100 or so schoolgirls sent to Allah. Iran's infrastructure has been hit hard, as has its military and government. If they bombed the Founder of the Islamic Republic's mausoleum, Ayatollah Khomeini, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems the Americans and Israelis are hitting anything and everything across Iran. Similar to the levelling of Gaza by the IDF. Hundreds of Iranians have been killed and injured, civilian and military alike.
