Caption: Starmer Heads To Middle East After US Iran Ceasefire Deal. Keir Starmer is travelling to the Middle East following a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, calling the deal a moment of relief for the region and beyond. The Prime Minister is set to meet Gulf leaders to discuss how to support and maintain the ceasefire, with Downing Street stressing the importance of diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation. The agreement comes after Donald Trump warned of severe consequences if Iran did not step back and reopen key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz. Starmer said the focus now must be on turning the ceasefire into a lasting agreement and ensuring stability in the region. He is also expected to meet UK military personnel during his Gulf trip. Meanwhile, Conservative politician James Cleverly described the ceasefire as an opportunity for Iran to change its behaviour, stressing that preventing the country from developing nuclear weapons remains a top priority. The Prime Minister is due to return to the UK on Friday after the diplomatic visit. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
