Von der Leyen, Starmer condemn Iran’s attack

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer travelled to Brussels on Wednesday to meet with President of the European Commission von der Leyen. Von der Leyen and Starmer condemned Iran’s attack on Israel ahead of bilateral talks. “The spiral of violence is threatening the lives of innocent civilians. It is also leading to a generalised conflict in the region.

And this must be avoided by all costs,” the European Commission President said in a statement before talks. Talks are expected to focus on “resetting” the UK-EU relationship. He is expected to meet the President of the European Council, Charles Miche, and the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, as well.
