Defence Minister Four Times Refuses to Say if UK Supports US Action Against Iran – Guido Fawkes

WATCH: Defence Minister Four Times Refuses to Say if UK Supports US Action Against Iran

Armed Forces minister Luke Pollard is doing the morning round today and has zero answers. Pressed on Sky News on whether the UK supports US military action undergone so far, Pollard four times refused to answer and could only say that the UK was not involved and was not asked to be involved:

“Well it’s not for me to comment on the particular US action but we’re assessing the battle damage at the moment to understand the true extent of the strikes but our focus and the work that we are doing in conjunction with our US allies as well as those across Europe is to put the pressure on the Iranian regime to get back to negotiations because a diplomatic solution is how we bring this crisis to an end.”

That line will become more difficult if Iran attacks US or other assets in the region. Pollard rejected the claim that the UK has zero influence on the US. Despite the fact Lammy and Starmer were humiliated and unwittingly used as deceptive tools against the Iranians in the days before the strikes…

The minister also couldn’t say when the charter flights out of Israel promised by the FCDO would begin to take off. Labour a passenger in all of this…

David Lammy is on the Today Programme refusing to say if the action was legal or illegal “because this was not the UK’s action.” Unsustainable…
