British forces were involved in thwarting Iran’s missile attack against Israel, the UK’s defence secretary has suggested.
In a carefully worded statement on Tuesday night, John Healey said: “British forces have this evening played their part in attempts to prevent further escalation in the Middle East.”
The statement did not go into military details on how British forces may have helped combat the barrage of 180 ballistic missiles launched by Iran in an attack that caused limited damage.
US defence officials confirmed that US destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea took down multiple missiles launched by Iran. And, following a similar attack by Iran on Israel in April, it was later confirmed that RAF Typhoons, from the Akrotiri airbase in Cyprus, had shot down Iranian drones.

The prime minister, Keir Starmer, said on Tuesday night he was “deeply concerned that the region is on the brink”, and again urged British nationals in Lebanon to leave amid escalating violence in the Middle East.
In a televised statement from Downing Street, Starmer said Iran had “menaced the Middle East for far too long” and called on the country to “stop these attacks”.
“We stand with Israel and we recognise her right to self-defence in the face of this aggression,” he said.

Apart from every other ZOGUK Prime Minister for at least the past 30-odd years…
has there EVER been a more sanctimonious,sermonising, sh!t-stirring scum-bag on the World Stage than that cringe-worthy cock-scker Starmer???

“Bwit’ish F’worces” apparently have NO PROBLEM defending ISISrael’s borders… or Puke’raine’s…
but when it comes to “defending Britain’s borders” from a 3rd World Invasion…
it’s “Solly Ol’ Chap.. b’wut wee haff b’wetter fings to do than wo’wee about some wogs wankin’ in the street over your women or sh’witting in your St’weets! Toodle pip!”
So, we helped to thwart the attack right, an attack that caused limited damage, right? Who are you trying to fool? Oh us, of course? Yes many of the missiles were intercepted, either by errrr the ground, or military runways, a few were even stopped by the Mossad, their facilities that is!!!
Talmud evil cult and your defenders usa, Britain got out of Palestine and leave the Palestinians and surrounding countries in peace. Stop causing wars to steal the gas and oil in the regions. Yes, Lebanon, Iran, Palestine and Syria have a right to defend themselves in their own lands.
UPDATE
Phillip Schofield made a substantial payment to a young lad he had been having sex with, in a deal that came with a non-disclosure agreement, it has emerged.
The former This Morning presenter left ITV last year after he admitted lying about his relationships with boys.
Lawyers for the star have confirmed he later helped pay the young lads legal fees, as well as compensation for the loss of his job and home.
The arrangement came with a non-disclosure agreement for both sides
Schofield has consistently said he is not a pervert, and he paid the boys not for sex but just to urinate over him
Details of the recent payments were first reported by the Mail on Sunday, external, which claimed that Schofield had handed over a six-figure sum.
Schofield also reported a rift with his co-star Holly Willoughby,
who called him a dirty pervert, and said you walk free while your brother went to prison
After the story emerged, Schofield apologised for lying to his colleagues, the media and his friends and family about having young boys, and left ITV with immediate effect.
In an interview with BBC News, he characterised his relationships as a “grave error” and said his “career is over”
ITV conducted a review into its handling of the affair last year after examining his laptop at the TV station
In a report, it said it had made “considerable efforts” to find out the truth in 2020, but that Schofield had “repeatedly denied” putting naked boys pics on the laptop
Schofield has apologised to all the boys concerned and hoped to get back with his wife
WW1 to take possession of Palestine and destroy Europeans stage 1. WW2 to move the Mongols into Palestine and destroy Europe stage 2. This insanity is all over the commands of Yahweh, a mentally insane, genocidal God, or have you not read the OT?
Brits dying for Satan…
Sky Fairy JeeZeus will reserve a spot for you !
Uh oh…Paedo Petherington needs his nappy changing again 🙁
Two World Wars and now a Third. The Brits are so far gone that they will again sacrifice themselves for Zion. The Brits will happily go into the nuclear fire if their masters demand it.
