World headlines in two minutes or less. You're tuned in to Global News Today. Britain's national security adviser, Jonathan Powell, did not join the final talks between the United States and Iran before the U.S. and Israel. Struck Tehon. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer made this clear on March 18. The Guardian newspaper reported a day earlier that Powell had been there. They said he viewed Iran's offer on its nuclear program as big enough to slow down any move toward war. No British officials took part in those negotiations. The spokesperson noted that the U.K. backed the work of White House envoys, Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner, in seeking a deal. The attacks happened on February 28. That kicked off a wider conflict across the Middle East. The fighting has killed thousands in the region, including 13 U.S. service members.
