UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has issued a stark warning at a defence summit, saying the world is now facing “a war on two fronts”—Russia’s war in Ukraine and the escalating Iran conflict.

He also announced that the UK is prepared to intercept Russian “shadow fleet” ships, which are used to bypass oil sanctions.

00:00The focus here is very much on Russian aggression in Ukraine, and we have to accept that there's a war
00:06on two fronts.
00:08There's the Iranian conflict and the continuing Ukrainian conflict.
00:12Today I'll be talking to Allies about what more we can do.
00:15Of course there'll be discussions about defence spend, also defence capability,
00:19and today I'll be making clear to them that I'm giving permission for the UK to intercept Shadow Fleet, Russian
00:26Shadow Fleet ships.
00:28These are ships that are unlawfully breaching sanctions, usually with oil, and we'll be working with others on that project.
00:36On defence, obviously, I've already committed to increasing defence spend.
00:41We have commitments to go further, and we will keep those commitments.
