00:00Well, I am not gung-ho about war at all. This is a very serious situation, but you only have
00:05to look
00:05at the threat that Iran poses to our country. What I am gung-ho about is the British national
00:11interest. I am gung-ho about the UK not being nuked by Iran, and where we see a brutalist
00:17regime that sponsors terror all around the world, including looking to harm people on British soil,
00:24even today, the security services, MI5, have said that they have done this,
00:28then we should be happy that that regime is being removed. And the prime minister couldn't
00:33even bring himself to do what the Canadian prime minister and the Australian prime minister,
00:38both on the left, he couldn't bring himself to actually say that President Trump was right to
00:43do this. This is not about us putting troops on the ground. This is simply about talking about
00:48global security. And the Iranian regime under the Ayatollahs is not keeping the world safe. The
00:53world is more safe now than it was last week. And that's all I'm saying.
