Earlier, UK Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Dominic Raab said that based on the information made available to him, the idea that Yemen’s Houthi militia could be responsible for last week’s attacks on Saudi oil facilities was “entirely implausible and lacking in credibility.” The Houthis maintain that their drones carried out the attacks.
The United States is attempting to involve Britain in a coalition to possibly initiate some form of military action against Iran, a source speaking to the Daily Star has claimed.
“The US is trying to build a coalition of support to take some form of action against Iran. The UK is the US’s closest ally so not surprisingly we have been asked for our view,” the source said.
Recalling the faulty intelligence during the buildup to the US-led coalition’s 2003 invasion of Iraq, which the UK ended up joining, the source said that “this time it looks as if they have the Iranians bang to rights,” with the US accumulating “a wealth of intelligence and it all points to Iran.”
The source did not reveal the specifics of this alleged intelligence information, but did indicate that “every time the West refuses to act against Iranian aggression the ayatollahs become even more bold [and] convinced the US will never attack them.”
