00:00Last night, after more than 24 hours of obfuscation,
00:04Keir Starmer finally agreed to support the U.S. and Israel's actions in Iran.
00:10Canada and Australia had already backed our allies on Saturday,
00:14but until last night, Keir Starmer still couldn't tell the British people where our country stood,
00:21or even whether the U.K. would allow the use of our air bases.
00:24It took Iranian missiles hitting allies in the Middle East and threatening tens of thousands of British nationals across the
00:32Gulf
00:32before the Prime Minister finally climbed off the fence.
00:38Iran's regime has funded international terrorism, attacked British nationals,
00:43brutally repressed its own citizens, and continues to try to develop a nuclear weapon.
00:48And yet, even this morning, the Foreign Secretary still can't say if the Labour government supports action against Iran.
00:59People in Britain will be wondering why our country's response has been so weak.
