UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting stands firm against Iran’s threats, declaring the UK is ready to respond to any attack while firmly refusing to join US offensive operations in the region. Despite Iran labeling Britain a target over its support for US and Israeli actions, Streeting insists the UK remains focused on defending its interests — including leading a potential naval mine-clearing mission in the Strait of Hormuz to safeguard global energy flows. He’s set to meet with US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to strengthen alignment, especially on securing vital shipping lanes. Meanwhile, Streeting condemned a recent Russian warship drill in the English Channel as “performative” and dangerously irresponsible, underscoring Russia’s ongoing threat to UK security.
