00:00Our decisione that the UK would not be involved with the strikes on Iran was deliberate.
00:08Not least because we believe that the best way forward for the region and for the world is a negotiated
00:16settlement.
00:18One in which Iran agrees to give up any aspirations to develop a nuclear weapon.
00:25But the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source, in their storage depots or
00:35the launchers which are used to fire the missiles.
00:40The United States has requested permission to use British bases for that specific and limited defensive purpose.
00:54We have taken the decision to accept this request.
01:00We are not joining these strikes, but we will continue with our defensive actions in the region.
01:09And we will also bring experts from Ukraine together with our own experts to help Gulf partners shoot down Iranian
01:18drones attacking them.
01:20Grazie.
