British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned, ending his tenure as head of government and leader of the Labour Party.
The announcement confirms reports that had circulated over the weekend regarding his decision to step down.
The departure marks a sudden shift in UK leadership at a time when diplomatic tensions surrounding the Iran nuclear deal are escalating.
The resignation comes as the United States and Iran have agreed to a roadmap for a final deal on the nuclear program.
This diplomatic development represents a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape, potentially altering the trajectory of Middle East policy and energy markets.
The timing of Starmer's exit raises questions about the continuity of UK foreign policy and its alignment with Washington on the Iran file.
