Keir Starmer this morning gave British backing to strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities by Donald Trump's America.
The Prime Minister said that Tehran's atomic programme was 'a grave threat to international security' after bombers dropped 30,000-pound 'bunker buster' bombs on the Fordow nuclear facility.
Sir Keir added that the US had taken action to 'alleviate that threat', having previously urged Trump to use diplomacy instead, warning that military action could cause wider ramifications.
Trump last night claimed the attack using B2 steal bombers had been 'a spectacular military success,' something Tehran denied.
Reports from the US suggested that the bombers flew direct from the US rather than using the joint UK/US base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
