UK Has No Plans to Join US Navy's Operations Off Israeli Coast

The United Kingdom has no plans of joining the US Navy in military operations off the coast of Israel amid potential Iranian retaliatory strikes, although London has two warships deployed in the region, The Telegraph reported, citing a source in the country's navy.

The UK's HMS Diamond, a Type 45 destroyer, is operating in the Red Sea off Yemen’s coast, while HMS Lancaster is deployed in the Arabian Sea, the source added.

The United States is ready to help Israel intercept any strikes launched against the country in the coming days, CNN reported on Friday, adding that Washington expects Iran to strike multiple targets in Israel.
