UK planes 'in the sky' in Middle East as part of defensive operation, PM says

British planes "are in the sky" in the Middle East as part of a defensive operation "to protect our people, our interests and our allies", the prime minister has said.

In a pre-recorded statement on Saturday, Sir Keir Starmer said protections for British bases and personnel had been stepped up to their highest level.

The US and Israel launched strikes across multiple Iranian cities including capital Tehran on Saturday morning, after negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear programme ended without a deal. The UK did not participate in the strikes.

Earlier, the PM released a joint statement with the leaders of France and Germany, calling for Iran to "refrain from indiscriminate military strikes".

In his speech, Sir Keir said he wanted to see "peace and security" in the Middle East and the "protection of civilian life".

He added: "Iran can end this now.

"They should refrain from further strikes, give up their weapons programme and cease the appalling violence and oppression of the Iranian people – who deserve the right to determine their own future."

The prime minister condemned Iran's retaliatory attacks "on partners across the region" after explosions were heard in several Middle East countries with US facilities.

I mean, IF Trump can pull this off well (big IF) and if Venezuela and Cuba work in his favor, he will have positioned the US back towards 1990 status.

"Why do we need 3 threads on iran"

This thread isn't about Iran. It's about the UK being as garbage as the US is.

Were we the enemy of the world in 1990?

Were we the country everyone feared they needed protection from?

I see Trump currently has 96% "strongly disapprove" in Denmark. I would expect even Hitler had slightly better figures than that.

I see. And blaming Iran for defending itself and trying to sell the bullshit that the path to peace for Iran is to make itself even more vulnerable to attack ... are the acts of a non-participant?
