AI-Generated image by Grok – Failing PM Starmer only has eyes for Putin, and neglects the danger posed by the Iranian mullahs.
The UK is fixated on Russia as the enemy and refuses to engage with the unhinged Iranians.
Reports have arisen that a swarm of Iranian Shahed drones struck an airbase in Erbil, Iraq, that hosted UK troops.
And, while US, French, and Italian troops were also targeted in Erbil, the British government knows who to blame.
No, not the mullahs or the IRGC, or Iraqi Shiites – but Russia.
The UK’s defense secretary accused Vladimir Putin of being the ‘hidden hand’ behind the Iranian drone strikes.

The Telegraph reported:
“John Healey blamed Russia after a swarm of Iranian drones hit a coalition air base in Erbil, northern Iraq. Two drones were destroyed by British forces but others eluded Defenses and struck the base on Wednesday night. It is the third such attack against British troops, following a drone strike on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus and a missile landing hundreds of yards from UK personnel in Bahrain.”
Defence Secretary John Healey says cooperation between Iran and Russia is ‘part and parcel of what we’re dealing with’ in the Middle Eastern conflict

Russia was accused of sharing intelligence with Tehran about the American bases, something they’ve denied.
But just yesterday, Russia accused the UK of aiding in the Ukrainian Storm Shadow missile strike in Bryansk, by not only supplying the missiles, but also with the participation of UK troops in the targeting and firing of the missiles.
And, yes – the Kremlin did say they were taking notice of these actions.
Russia ‘aware’ of UK’s role in deadly attack on Bryansk, ‘and we naturally take it into account’ — Kremlin
‘Storm Shadow missile strike on Bryansk would not have been possible without British specialists’
