Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the dispatch of British fighter jets to the Middle East after Iran threatened to attack Western bases if it resists attacks on Israel

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain is sending fighter jets to the Middle East to provide support amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran. The decision comes after Iran's threats to target UK, French and US military bases. Starmer emphasized the importance of de-escalation and said talks with allies would continue, without completely ruling out intervention. The British planes are part of Operation Shader, previously deployed in the region.
