    Is there really an applicable difference between joining in on the attack and defending the person doing the attacking? That’s like holding someone’s hands behind their back while someone else punches them. For all intents and purposes you are part of the attack.

      It doesn’t say the UK is defending Israel, it says defending allies.

      Defending Bahrain or Jordan from incoming missiles is completely different to attacking Iran.

      We are absolutely not defending the US. Think about it. Why would the world’s largest military need the UK to defend them?

      The UK is stopping Iran firing missiles are countries that aren’t involved.

        The bully rarely needs the lackey to hold the victim’s arms. But the lackey knows its the best way to keep the bully from turning on them.

        Also who are these innocent countries?

          The US turned on us a long time ago. Our PM has been very clear that the attack on Iran is not legal.

          Iran has already launched a missile towards Cyprus. Tell me, how were they involved?
