11:14Now PlayingThe News Agents' Jon Sopel joins Shelagh Fogarty to discuss the reason Keir Starmer is not caving on his Iran war decision.
The Prime Minister "stands by" his choice not to join in with the strikes on Iran carried out by the United States and Israel.
The UK leader was speaking in the House of Commons, as he updated MPs and the public on the latest situation in the Middle East.
Sir Keir restated that the UK was not involved in the initial strikes carried out on Saturday.
The prime minister said he had faced criticism from US President Donald Trump for his decision not to join in the strikes.
"It is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest," Sir Keir said.
"That is what I've done, and I stand by it."
