The United Kingdom has officially joined the United States and Israel in the conflict against Iran.

UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer disclosed this in a statewide broadcast on Saturday.

According to him, British planes are in the skies as part of coordinated defensive operations against Iran.

“Our forces are active, and British planes are in the sky today as part of coordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests, and our allies.”

He further urged the Iranian government to refrain from offensive strikes and give up their weapon programs.

“Iran can end this now. They should restrain from further strikes. Give up their weapon programs and cease the appalling violence and repression against the Iranian people. This is the root to escalation and back to the negotiation table.”

His announcement adds a fresh tension to the existing conflict in the Middle East.

Recall that the US and Israel had launched an attack on Iran early Saturday.
