"United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN! It is very possible that they will never learn!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

U.S. President Donald J. Trump confirmed U.S. Central Command’s announcement of additional strikes on Iran. President Trump has said that Iran’s targeting of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is a violation of the ceasefire framework, adding that “There may come a point where we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job.”

NEW: Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has written an explosive op-ed for The Sunday Times.

It is the first time the former chief of the defence staff has spoken since retiring last year.

He said:

💥 Andy Burnham must appoint a "wartime cabinet" that will properly fund the military.
💥 The "peace dividend" is over - and the role of the PM is now a "quasi-wartime" one.
💥 The UK is "looking like a laggard" in Nato and we are bottom of the Nato league table to meet our military commitments.
💥 Warned Burnham to avoid antagonising Donald Trump - or else the USA could withdraw its "unconditional support" for the UK.
💥 Says the next PM must "protect the nuclear deterrent."

You think British ministers are bad. Have a look at this French nutter.

70% of French electricity is generated by nuclear power. Today solar is contributing most of the other 30%. So what exactly is her ‘great point’ again?
