Britain does U-turn on support for US actions on Iran
By EUobserver
British foreign minister Jeremy Hunt said Thursday he shared "the same assessment of the heightened threat posed by Iran" as the US did. His remarks came after he criticised the US earlier this week for sabre-rattling against Iran that could lead to an "accidental" war. Chris Ghika, a senior British general, also said this week that "No, there has been no increased threat from Iranian-backed forces".
