UK deputy prime minister: British strikes on Iran 'legal' to conduct
6 March 2026 13:31 GMT
The UK deputy prime minister said on Friday that it would be "legal" for the British military to conduct strikes directly targeting Iran.
“It is entirely legal to protect our people and protect our staff, and therefore all operational capability is available to us in those circumstances,” David Lammy told the BBC.
Lammy confirmed that the UK has the satellite and intelligence capabilities to identify Iranian target sites.
Currently, the UK has given permission to the US to use British air bases to launch attacks.
