UK Politicians Warn Over U.S. Anti-Iran Threats
LONDON (Dispatches) -- British politicians have warned that Britain’s special relationship with the United States, as it threatens to attack Iran, is “putting us all at risk.” Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party and a London Assembly member, told The Middle East Eye on Tuesday that it is “deeply irresponsible for our international policy to always be tied to American interests.” Independent Member of Parliament Ayoub Khan also said that Britain, “as a key U.S. ally,” should “encourage restraint and work towards de-escalation rather than allowing tensions to spiral into yet another devastating conflict.”
