Britain will involve Ukrainian specialists to combat Shaheds over Persian Gulf - Starmer

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that London plans to involve Ukrainian experts in countering Iranian drones in the Persian Gulf region.

According to him, Britain will not participate in the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, but will continue its defensive support for its partners in the region.

"We are not joining these strikes, but we will continue our defensive actions in the region. And we will also involve experts from Ukraine, along with our own experts, to help our partners in the Persian Gulf shoot down Iranian drones that attack them," he stressed.

Starmer added that London remembers "Iraq's mistakes", so it is not considering the option of offensive action against Iran. At the same time, given Tehran's tactics, Britain supports the collective self-defense of allies.

"This is the best way to eliminate the immediate threat and prevent further escalation. The British government is protecting British interests and British lives," the Prime Minister concluded.

Recall that on February 28, US President Donald Trump made an official statement confirming the start of a large-scale military operation against Iran.
