How Starmer Reached His Iran War Conclusion

What's the difference between Donald Trump and a tanker full of oil? One is dense, sticky and heavy and the other one is a tanker of oil and after 18 days the Iran War is still ongoing and despite all the inane White House bluster about having already won, it doesn't look as though it will end anytime soon as the Orange Man-baby keeps begging for help as the missiles continue to fly from Iran and the US economy takes a huge hit because of the ships stuck on the wrong side of the Strait of Hormuz.
I have always struggled to warm to Keir Starmer but the fact that he told Trump to do one when he tried to pressure him into the joining the misadventure has  raised him up in my opinion and giving the reason that the UK Government deemed it illegal and was launched with no viable plan was a slap across the bright Orange cheeks of the US President.
We now know why we reached the decision that it was illegal and the ever changing reasons given for starting it a crock of bull because in the meeting with the Iranian and the US was our own national security adviser Jonathan Powell who briefed the Cabinet that at the meeting the Iranians had made some surprising offers to continue diplomacy which included a permanent deal with no sunset clauses as well as down-blending the stockpile of highly enriched uranium under the supervision of the IAEA inside Iran and a three- to-five-year pause on domestic enrichment with the US being given the chance to participate in any future civil nuclear programs and in return, nearly 80% of the economic sanctions on Iran would have been lifted.
Powell and the other mediators also spoke of concern that the US delegates, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner where out of their depth and had no technical team alongside to rely on but after the opening offers, Powell and the other delegates considered it progressive and fully expected the next round of talks in Vienna on Monday 2 March to bring forward a diplomatic solution but but never happened as the US and Israel launched their all-out attack two days before the meeting was due to take place.
Oman’s foreign minister, Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, who was part of the talks, appeared on news shows to outline just how far the talks had progressed and that he described a deal that could be signed within days and appeared to back up Powell's assessment that diplomacy was working and the war was rushed into at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu.  
One Gulf diplomat with knowledge of the talks said: 'We regarded Witkoff and Kushner as Israeli assets that dragged a president into a war he wants to get out of.'
It was Powell's advice that formed the basis of the UK government’s refusal to back the US attack on Iran as there was no compelling evidence of an imminent threat of an Iranian missile attack on Europe or of Iran securing a nuclear weapon and as there was a viable diplomatic option, the US and Israeli attack was necessary.
Instead the UK regarded the attack as unlawful and premature since Powell believed the path remained open to a negotiated solution to the long-running issue of how Iran could reassure the US that it was not seeking a nuclear weapon.
Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, yesterday answered a question in the House of Commons which asked if she believed a negotiated path between Iran and the US was still possible at that time, replied that: 'The UK did provide support for negotiations and diplomatic processes around the nuclear discussions. We did think that was an important track and we did want it to continue. That is one of the reasons for the position we took on the US strikes.'
Trump can bluster and lie all he likes but judging by the complete reluctance of any other nation to join him and Netanyahu in their war, everyone else also reached the same conclusion as the Brits.
