As America strikes Iran, Britain ‘sits on the fence’ | LBC

Nick Ferrari gets the view from Former UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps after failing to get a clear stance from the government on whether Britain backs US strikes in Iran.

Earlier today, Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard was unable to provide a definitive answer on the UK’s position. He was asked six times by LBC whether he opposes the action on Iran taken by the US over the weekend.

On Saturday, US President Donald Trump confirmed three nuclear sites – Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan – were bombed in the early hours of Sunday.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, President Trump said satellite images showed the Iranian nuclear facilities had been “obliterated”, with most of the damage taking place “far below ground level”.

He made the declaration just hours after he suggested Iran’s current regime ‘is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN.’

Trump’s comments came after he and Sir Keir Starmer had earlier urged Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini to “return to the negotiating table as soon as possible”.
