Green Party leader Zack Polanski has condemned the recent US military strikes on Iran, calling them ‘illegal and unprovoked’. The strikes, which resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have led to retaliatory missile attacks across the Middle East. Polanski argued that international law is eroding and criticised the UK government’s failure to condemn America’s actions. He called for the UK to sever ties with the US over these military actions and urged Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to take a stronger stance in supporting international law and de-escalation.
