A British think-tank has claimed the UK should launch direct attacks on Iran after current international policy and sanctions have “failed spectacularly”.
Iran International, the Iranian opposition network reports that according to The Henry Jackson Society, the West’s policy on Iran is “in tatters”.
Iran continues to support Russia’s war on Ukraine, bolster its nuclear capabilities, fund, train and arm militias in the Middle East and most recently, target international shipping through its Yemeni proxy, the Houthis, in the Red Sea region.
The blockade, which the Houthis say is in allegiance with Iran-backed Hamas in Gaza amid its war with Israel, has seen the Houthis “taking hostages, seizing ships, firing missiles at US military vessels and firing missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia via Yemen”, according to the report.
