British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has led Iran to strike military and economic targets in a more "reckless" manner in the region.

The death of Khamenei "will not stop Iran from launching these strikes," Starmer told parliament. "In fact, their approach is becoming even more reckless and more dangerous to civilians."
