This is even madder than Iraq': James O'Brien on Trump and Iran

James O'Brien says Britain must not repeat the 'catastrophic' mistake of Iraq by 'blindly' following Donald Trump into another Middle East war - insisting that “those who do not learn from history are condemned forever to repeat it”. It comes after Donald Trump blasted Sir Keir Starmer for "not being helpful" in the US war with Iran and described the breakdown in his relationship with the UK as "very sad". The President also accused the UK of being "unrecognisable" and said other countries in Europe had "been great". Trump made the comments in an interview with The Sun on Tuesday morning, just a day after he said he was "very disappointed" in Sir Keir for initially blocking the US from using the Diego Garcia military base to strike Iran. In his latest outburst, the President said: "[Sir Keir] has not been helpful. I never thought I’d see that. I never thought I’d see that from the UK. "We love the UK. It’s a different world, actually. It’s just a much different kind of relationship that we’ve had with your country before".
