RAF fighter jets deployed to shoot down Iran drones, MoD says

www.bbc.com

"In a statement, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Air Force (RAF) will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of operations in the region.

It is understood RAF jets have flown over Iraq and Syria, not Israel.

PM Rishi Sunak condemned Iran's "reckless attack", pledging the UK would "continue to stand up for Israel's security". "

Wtf are they doing? Just stay out of this one.
- Yeah, not sure we want to send the message that bombing embassies is okay.
  
  ...or that we'll run to defend a country actively committing atrocities.
  
  Aren't we supposed to help defend our allies, and vice versa?
  
  Maybe take a step back if your ally is basically Nazi Germany.
  
  Are you saying Israel has ambition to invade and conquer the entire region?
  
  Yes, they need room for their population to live.
  You know, "living room"
  
  Kinda seems like that when they are bombing every country in the region and committing a genocide at home...
