UK could consider joining Trump in war on Iran

Britain will consider joining a US military assault on Iran, Jeremy Hunt said last night. The Foreign Secretary confirmed the UK would consider requests for support ‘on a case-by-case basis’.

Washington has already mounted a full-scale cyber attack on Iran in the wake of an unmanned US drone being shot down. The Pentagon targeted computer systems used to control Tehran’s missile and rocket systems, intelligence sources said. Donald Trump had earlier backed away from unleashing a major bombing campaign.
