President Trump ‘not happy’ with Starmer over Iran | BBC Newscast

Published

on



President Donald Trump has criticised the UK’s initial response to US-Israeli strikes on Iran, saying ‘this is not Winston Churchill we’re dealing with.’ He says he’s not happy with the UK and tells reporters at the White House “everything’s been knocked out in Iran.”
 
Today, the UK government confirmed it will deploy HMS Dragon and helicopters with counter-drone capabilities to protect Cyprus after attacks on a British base. It comes as Israel says it has carried out new attacks on Iran’s “leadership compound”, whilst Iran continues to target energy sites in the region.
 
At the same time, the UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves insists her economic plan is working in an ‘uncertain’ world as the UK growth forecast was lowered for 2026.
 
Adam Fleming is joined by the BBC’s Political Editor Chris Mason, Deputy Economic Editor Dharshini David and Panorama film-maker Jane Corbin.

US and Iran hold peace talks in highest level meeting since 1979 Islamic revolution | BBC News

Published

on



The US Vice-President JD Vance has been holding face to face talks with senior Iranian leaders in Islamabad. It’s the highest level direct talks between the two countries since Iran’s Islamic revolution in. 1979.

There were three rounds of talks mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad, with the hope of agreeing a permanent end to the fighting in the Middle East that began with US and Israel attacking Iran and sparked a wider conflict and the closure of the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

There are huge obstacles to a lasting peace deal. The strait of Hormuz remains blocked to much shipping, pushing up global prices of oil and gas. In Lebanon Israel continues to attack Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy. More than 200 targets have been attacked there in the past 24 hours, with the death toll over 2,000.

Christian Fraser presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Caroline Davies and Lyse Doucet in Islamabad.
