The UK is sending extra Royal Air Force jets to the Middle East to support potential crisis situations, Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed during his G7 trip to Canada.
Starmer said the situation in the region is developing rapidly and the UK is moving military assets, including warplanes, to help manage tensions. He emphasized that the government’s priority remains reducing conflict through dialogue.
In talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Starmer raised concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and Israel’s security.
When asked if UK jets will patrol to defend Israel from Iranian drones, as they did last year, Starmer declined to comment. He also didn’t specify whether the US shares intelligence with the UK on Israel’s operations against Iran but confirmed ongoing close cooperation with allies.
