00:05Our decisione that the UK would not be involved with the strikes on Iran was deliberate.
00:12Not least because we believe that the best way forward for the region and for the world
00:19is a negotiated settlement, one in which Iran agrees to give up any aspirations to develop
00:28a nuclear weapon. But the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source
00:36in their storage depots or the launchers which are used to fire the missiles.
00:44The United States has requested permission to use British bases for that specific and limited
00:54defensive purpose. We have taken the decision to accept this request.
01:04We are not joining these strikes, but we will continue with our defensive actions in the region.
01:13And we will also bring experts from Ukraine together with our own experts to help Gulf
01:20partners shoot down Iranian drones attacking them.
