UK hasn't yet contributed to efforts to defend Israel from Iranian strikes

Iran has warned the UK against assisting Israel in its ongoing military actions, threatening to target British, American, and French ships and bases if they intervene—though the UK government has not confirmed any involvement or received recent requests for support from Israel.

In the last hour or so, Iranian state media has reported that Iran has warned the UK not to help Israel stop its strikes on the country.

They say that Iran will target ships and bases belonging to the UK, US and France, if they defend Israel against Iranian drones or missiles.

Downing Street aren't responding to those comments, but as of this morning it's understood the UK has not taken part in any military action, including efforts to defend Israel against those strikes.

I was told yesterday that there'd been no request from Israel to the UK for that type of assistance.

Government sources haven't been confirming this morning whether that's still the case.

When Iran has targeted Israel with drones in the past, the UK has sent RAF Typhoon jets from Cyprus to shoot them down.
