The illegal attacks on Iran by the United States are reckless beyond belief — and threaten the safety of humankind around the world. Diplomacy was possible. Instead, a catastrophic war has been ignited by the aggression of two nuclear states, Israel and the United States. Meanwhile, the genocide in Gaza continues unabated with the shameful military support of our own government. The last Labour government made the mistake of following the US into a devastating war. Human beings abroad paid the price. This Labour government needs to learn the lessons of the past, otherwise it will be remembered for the more dangerous world it has helped to create. I echo the call made by the UN Secretary-General: “There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”
