00:00We know that there are hostile attacks from Iranians, including planned terror attacks
00:05on British soil. That's something that we have to be very cognizant about, and that's why we
00:11supported the endeavor alongside Australia, alongside Canada, to stop Iran from gaining
00:18nuclear weapons. We know this is a state which is hostile to us. In terms of escalation, being able
00:22to defend yourselves abroad is not escalation. It's making sure you can protect your military
00:26assets, and that is something that we promise our armed forces that we should be able to
00:31do, and we think actually the government could have done it. They could have acted quicker
00:35on that.
