Britain's Labour party blasted Prime Minister David Cameron Thursday as a "foreign policy klutz" with his feet "firmly planted in his mouth" over remarks he made on Iran's nuclear program. Taking questions from the public about his support for Turkish membership in the European Union during an appearance in Hove, Cameron said Turkey could be an important influence in helping solve problems "like the Middle East peace process and the fact that Iran has got a nuclear weapon".
Western powers accuse Iran of secretly developing atomic weapons, despite the Islamic Republic's denials. Camero's office said it was "perfectly clear that he is talking about the pursuit of a nuclear weapon". Recently he described Gaza as a "prison camp".
