00:00I think the relationship is still very close, and I'm sure there'll be a lot of discussions
00:04going on right now about security of airfields and other military installations.
00:09But what would have been worse, would there have been some incident involving an attack
00:13on an American aircraft that had been successful?
00:16I mean, that would have been a real blow to US-UK military relations.
00:19So I think we need to see this in the wider context of resilience.
00:23We've also got Russians flying drones around airfields and posing a potential threat.
00:29Our security authorities have been warning us for some time that the Iranians are a
00:33real threat on UK territory.
00:35We know they've been trying to attack Iranian dissidents here, they've been carrying out
00:40sabotage attacks here and around Europe as well.
00:43And this is one more sign that we are facing quite a broad threat from Iran as well as Russia,
00:49and that we have to be very aware of that, thinking about the resilience and security
00:53of our military installations.
00:55It's a real wake-up call.
