One UK official said there was not a clear \u201cyes or no\u201d answer to whether Washington would have to seek approval from Britain to use the base to launch an attack.<\/p>\n<p>Britain has so far stayed out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/middle-east-war\" data-trackable=\"link\">the Israel-Iran war<\/a> and is determined not to do anything that could lead to the closure of its embassy in Tehran, a key western diplomatic post in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>But Starmer on Wednesday discussed with ministers and military chiefs how Britain might respond if Tehran \u201cdirectly or indirectly threatened UK assets in the region\u201d, said one person briefed on the talks.<\/p>\n<p>At a meeting of a Whitehall emergency committee known as Cobra, they also reviewed the possibility of a US attack on Iran, according to officials briefed on the talks. Others who participated included intelligence bosses and US ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson.<\/p>\n<p>A Downing Street spokeswoman said after the committee meeting: \u201cMinisters were updated on efforts to support British nationals in the region and protect regional security, as well as ongoing diplomatic efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Lord Richard Hermer, attorney-general, declined to comment on reports in The Spectator that he had warned that Britain\u2019s participation in a US attack on Iran could be illegal and that UK forces could only be involved in defensive action.<\/p>\n<p>But one person briefed on the matter said: \u201cIf our assets are threatened, then we have a right to self-defence, with or without the Americans. But obviously, in that case, we would want to work with the Americans given their superior power against the Iranian threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Starmer has repeatedly emphasised Israel\u2019s right to defend itself and has said Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, he has stopped short of saying he would support US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has continued to call for \u201cde-escalation\u201d of the Israel-Iran conflict \u2014 the official reason why Britain has not offered any support for the Jewish state in defending itself from air attacks directed by Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>At a G7 summit in Canada on Tuesday, Starmer said there was \u201cnothing\u201d Trump had stated \u201cthat suggests he\u2019s about to get involved in this conflict\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But British officials subsequently admitted that Trump was unlikely to share his true thinking over dinner with western leaders \u2014 and that the White House\u2019s approach to the crisis was an \u201citerative process\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A105c4af4-6532-4b51-b282-265957c3b69f?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A105c4af4-6532-4b51-b282-265957c3b69f?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=2 2x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A105c4af4-6532-4b51-b282-265957c3b69f?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=3 3x\" width=\"2127\" height=\"1418\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2F105c4af4-6532-4b51-b282-265957c3b69f.jpg?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1\" alt=\"A US Air Force B-1B bomber takes off from the Diego Garcia base\" data-image-type=\"image\" width=\"2127\" height=\"1418\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption o3-editorial-typography-caption\"><span>A US Air Force B-1B bomber takes off from the Diego Garcia base during allied operations in Afghanistan<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 USAF\/DoD\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Israel\u2019s ambassador in London on Tuesday said defensive support from the UK had not been discussed or requested.<\/p>\n<p>This contrasts with how\u2009UK Royal Air Force fighter jets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a5096429-5eb5-4d0f-8525-5e60c3b35448\" data-trackable=\"link\">helped shoot down<\/a> drones fired by Iran at Israel in April last year.

Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>Any US attack on Iran could potentially focus initially on the heavily reinforced Fordow nuclear site, which Israel lacks the bombs to destroy.<\/p>\n<p>US \u201cbunker busting\u201d bombs capable of penetrating Fordow must be launched from American B2 stealth bombers, and Washington positioned at least six B2-As at Diego Garcia in March as it increased pressure on Tehran to agree
