00:00I was asked, did we know it was going to happen, and if so, when?

00:03Yes, we did know.

00:04When?

00:04I can't tell you exactly when we did know, but we were informed, as you might expect, by a key ally of this action.

00:10But we knew in advance?

00:14Yes.

00:16And did the Americans ask us to support the action in any way?

00:21So no request was made.

00:22I know often, because of British military assets, RAF Akrotiri or Diego Garcia, sometimes that request is made.

00:30This was not a situation where that request was made, and the US has used other means to carry out this mission.
