Over the weekend, the US and Israel seized on an opportune moment to eliminate senior figures of the ruling militia in Iran, including the supreme leader Ayatollah Khemeni. The UK, however, has not been instrumental to the success of this mission so far.
In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to The Standard’s chief political correspondent, Rachael Burford, about Keir Starmer’s decision to refuse to send British military support for the initial strikes. Plus, a conversation with Laila Jazayeri, the Director of the Association of Anglo-Iranian Women in the UK, to discuss the reaction to Khemeni’s death in Iran and the diaspora, and lay out alternative leadership paths for the country.
