"We have no assessment of Iranian plans to strike London. What I'm saying, and trying to reassure people, is that we've got no assessment that Iran has any plans to attack. However, we have the resources and the alliances in place to defend Britain, which we do with our allies and through NATO."
"This is the hidden hand of Putin in both conflicts. Iran is showing an increasing ability to strike across the Middle East and some of their tactics resemble those used by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine."
"I'm not happy with the situation we have with British warships, and that's because it takes six years to build a warship."
"Referring to Germany as 'good allies,' he said this decision reflects 'the strength of the NATO alliance.'"
John Healey stated that there is no intelligence indicating Iran plans to attack the UK, despite its increasing missile capabilities. He reassured that Britain has resources and alliances to defend itself. Healey noted Iran's missile launches toward a military base and compared their tactics to those of Putin in Ukraine. He addressed concerns about delays in the defence investment plan, denying Treasury involvement but acknowledging military pressures. Healey also supported Germany's participation in a NATO mission, emphasizing the strength of the alliance while expressing dissatisfaction with British warship availability.
