Evening Standard Podcast: Are the Iran strikes legal?

Keir Starmer has spent much of the week defending his decision not to join the US and Israel’s offensive in Iran, saying that “any UK actions must always have a lawful basis”.

In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to international legal expert Marko Milanovic, Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading.
