'Britain was not involved in US attacks on Iran because we...', what did the UK PM say on Trump's displeasure?

Keir Starmer told parliament that the UK has allowed the US military to use British military bases for a limited defensive purpose in the Middle East. He said this while addressing MPs in the House of Commons, the lower house of Parliament. US President Donald Trump has said he was "very disappointed" that the UK Prime Minister took too long to change his decision on the use of British military bases

Israel. This decision was deliberate. "We believe that the best course of action for the region and the world is to reach an agreement in which Iran agrees to renounce its desires to develop nuclear weapons and cease its destabilizing activities in the region," he said.

This has been a long-standing position of different UK governments. President Trump disagreed with our decision to refuse to engage in the initial attacks, but it is my duty to decide what is in the national interest of the United Kingdom. Keir Starmer has repeatedly stressed the need for a "legal basis" and "a pragmatic, well-thought-out plan" before British forces get involved in any action. He stressed that this is a lesson from the attack on Iraq.
