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.
00:27But Iran is striking British interests nonetheless and putting British people at huge risk along with our allies across the
00:39region.
00:40That is the situation we face today.
00:45Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to defend them and it is my duty to
00:53protect British lives.
00:55We have British jets in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations which have already successfully intercepted Iranian strikes.
01:06Thank you.

01:06Thank you.
01:06Thank you.
