US stealth bombers land at UK bases for 'the big one': Hegseth warns of 'dramatic surge' in attacks on Iran after Trump hints they could drop the 'mother of all bombs'
As Trump laid into Sir Keir Starmer for delaying access to UK military runways around the world, including in Diego Garcia, Mr Hegseth said last night: 'We got there'. 'The amount of firepower over Iran and over Tehran is about to surge dramatically,' Mr Hegseth warned. Sir Keir urged Mr Trump to ‘de-escalate’ the crisis and negotiate with what is left of Iran’s leadership. Sir Keir was stung into a public defence of his actions following days of criticism. Sir Keir said air defence capabilities had been ‘pre-deployed’ before the US assault began.
