British Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised Muslims as ‘the face of modern Britain’, adding that they are ‘a success story when it comes to diversity’ during a Ramadan iftar ceremony held in Westminster Hall on Tuesday, 3 March.

Addressing hundreds of Muslim MPs, community leaders, activists, and guests, Starmer also commented on the US–Israeli joint military operation against Iran, during which Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was eliminated. The British prime minister—despite the fact that one of the first targets of the Iranian regime’s retaliatory strikes was a British military base in Cyprus—quickly clarified that London had not been involved in the initial strikes and would not participate in offensive action in the future.

He went on to thank Muslim communities for their ‘immense contribution’ to the country, highlighting what he described as a ‘very difficult time’ for Muslims in the UK due to the ‘pain of the conflict in Gaza’ and the ‘suffering of Palestinians’. Starmer added that he was ‘horrified by the wave of hatred’ directed towards British Muslims, attributing it to ‘far-right rhetoric and misinformation’.
