Britain is moving warplanes to Middle East amid Iran threat

SUMMARY

The UK is deploying military hardware to the Middle East for "contingency support," according to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his flight to the G7 summit. He aims to pressure Israel and Iran to "de-escalate" their ongoing conflict due to concerns over Iran's nuclear program and rising oil prices affecting the economy.

Starmer noted that military preparations began Friday with refueling aircraft and fast jets being deployed. He emphasized the high levels of concern among global leaders about the conflict.
