UK Deploys Fighter Jets to Middle East
Israa Farhan British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Saturday the deployment of additional military assets, including fighter jets, to the Middle East to support emergency response operations across the region. The move comes ahead of his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada. The announcement follows a significant escalation between Israel and Iran, triggered by a wide-scale Israeli airstrike early Friday targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, including the Natanz facility and Revolutionary Guard bases in Tehran and Isfahan. The strikes reportedly killed key Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri. Iran retaliated by launching drones and waves of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets, further fuelling concerns of broader regional conflict. Starmer reaffirmed the UK's commitment to regional stability and highlighted the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions. He also expressed serious concerns over Iran's nuclear programme, reinforcing Britain's longstanding position in favor of non-proliferation and regional security. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
