Trump says U.S. doesn't need British carriers as airstrikes on Iran continue; criticises Starmer
As U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran continue, President Trump said the U.S. "does not need" British aircraft carriers even as Britain reportedly considers sending two ships, and publicly criticised UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trump also ruled out Kurdish involvement and claimed Iran's naval forces had been "dismantled."
