British Health Secretary Wes Streeting has sharply criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump's language on Iran. He called Trump's rhetoric "incendiary, provocative and outrageous." Streeting also said the recent failure of peace talks between the United States and Iran was disappointing. He added that the lack of a deal has undoubtedly strained relations between the UK and the US. However, the minister stressed that continued diplomacy is essential. "As ever in diplomacy, you’re failing until you succeed," Streeting said in a television interview. He argued that future negotiations are necessary for global security. The health secretary emphasized that successful talks are "in all of our interests." He urged continued efforts despite the setback.
