Jeremy Corbyn has been accused of “virulent anti-Americanism” after he blamed Britain and the United States for stoking conflict with Iran. His comments were denounced as “pathetic” by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. From Salisbury to the Middle East, why can he never bring himself to back British allies, British intelligence or British interests? This is the same man by the way who refused to condemn Putin after the Salisbury Novichok attacks,” he said. Mr Hunt said Britain’s assessment “leads us to conclude that responsibility for the attacks almost certainly lies with Iran”.
