00:00Since UNGA, Mr Speaker, we have been in close contact with the US about protective security
00:05at our shared bases. I want to thank our police and military personnel for their swift response
00:12to the incidents at RAF Fairford and RAF Molesworth.
00:16My right honourable friend, the Home Secretary, will update the House regarding the incident
00:20at RAF Fairford, but I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated

00:48sanctions to restrict the capacity of Iran and the IRGC to do us harm.
