"What's struck me being here over the last couple of days is how clear it is in the Middle East that Iran is expanding its attacks, which I totally condemn as it's continuing to menace the region."
"We won't get drawn into the wider war. Throughout this conflict, we've been consistently taking decisions in Britain's interests because we need to defend our people, and we want to defend allies in the region."
"Iranian drones and missiles were now threatening universities, steel works and aluminium plants in the Gulf."
The UK is enhancing its military presence in the Gulf, deploying a total of 1,000 troops amid rising threats from Iran. Defence Secretary John Healey announced the deployment of additional Typhoon jets and the Sky Sabre anti-drone system to various Gulf nations. Healey condemned Iran's expanding attacks, emphasizing the UK's commitment to defensive operations in the region. He noted that Gulf leaders would assess the UK based on actions rather than words, while also addressing comments from US President Trump regarding military involvement.
