Trump dissed Starmer for initially denying permission to launch strikes against Iran from Diego Garcia.

Brits who object to staying out of attack on Iran by US and Israel, fail to remember that Margaret Thatcher went much further and imposed an arms embargo on Israel during the Lebanon War in 1982, which lasted for 12 years until 1994.

Despite being considered one of the most pro-Israel British prime ministers of the 20th century, Thatcher took this action due to Israel's military conduct, particularly its invasion of Lebanon. The embargo reflected her belief that Israel should adhere to international law and moral standards. Brits should continue to apply her standards to Netanyahu's Israel.
