British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday that the United Kingdom would move military assets, including the Jets, to the Middle East due to the support of unforeseen in the whole region.
Starmer refused to exclude Israel’s defense before Iranian strikes despite Tehran’s threat that such an action could lead to a targeted British base in the region, Guardian reported.
“I will always make the right decisions for the United Kingdom,” he said as he asked about his response to Iran’s threat against the foundations of any Western nations that came to Israeli help. “We are moving assets to the region, including the Jets, and this is to support emergency in the region,” Reuters quoted it.
Britain already has fighter aircraft in the Middle East as part of an operation that has against threats in Iraq and Syria.
Development came when Iran and Israel traded with missiles and air strikes on Saturday, the day after Israel launched an air offensive against its old enemy, killed commanders and scientists, and bombed nuclear places in a set offer to stop building an atomic weapon.
UK PM requires de-academic
Before leaving London, Starmer spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and de facto leader Muhammed Bin Salman. They discussed “seriously about the situation in the Middle East”, the Prime Minister’s office said on Saturday. “The leaders agreed on the need to de-eskal,” he added.
Starmer also reiterated that the United Kingdom is ready to work closely with its allies to support the diplomatic resolution in the coming days, the PM office said.
He previously spoke with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since Israel began attacks on Iranian military and nuclear places soon on Friday. Iran responded with the launch of drones and missiles fired on Israel overnight on Friday to Saturday.
Starmer said the situation was “fast moving” and “intense”. “We have been discussing with our allies all the time, both I and Foreign Minister) David Lammy … who also spoke to the Iranians.”
“Our constant message is de-eskalate, and therefore everything we do, all the discussions we have, have a lot to do with de-eskalac,” AFP quoted Starmer.
