Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi has cautioned against Britain’s involvement in Donald Trump’s war, as he criticised the “negative and biased approach of Britain” in a phone call with the home secretary, Yvette Cooper. But government minister Emma Reynolds insisted the government was “absolutely right to protect and defend” the 300,000 British nationals currently in the Middle East.The UK has since allowed US forces to use British bases, including RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, to launch “limited and defensive” missions targeting Iranian missile capabilities. The warning comes as conflict continues to unfold across the Middle East, after the US has launched a fresh offensive to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Washington has deployed low-flying jets and Apache helicopters to strike Iranian vessels and drones near the shipping lane after Tehran had allowed a small number of vessels safe passage through the narrow waterway. What is your take on the matter ?
