Badenoch: We need to stop Iran getting nuclear weapons

ODN

Kemi Badenoch says, “the most important thing is to make sure Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons” and reiterates her “support” for Israel. The Conservative leader says she is “worried” that any use of UK-controlled Diego Garcia for a potential US bombing mission would hit problems as it has been “surrendered to Mauritius”.

00:00The most important thing is to make sure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons and we need to

00:06make sure that we support Israel in its activity to defend itself and protect itself. What I'm

00:13really worried about though is that the base that we would need to use if we were supporting is the

00:18one which Keir Starmer has just surrendered territory to Mauritius. Mauritius is an ally

00:24of China. We're an ally of Iran. We need to get their permission to launch any sort of

00:29flights and these are the sorts of things that show that Labour's had very bad judgment which is

00:34weakening on national security. We always want to start with a diplomatic solution but it's quite

00:39clear that there are some countries that are not interested in diplomacy or who are only pretending

00:43the diplomacy while they're actually accumulating nuclear weapons. Iran launched a terrorist attack

00:50which was foiled on UK soil. They're not an ally of the UK. The world would be an extremely dangerous

00:55place if they get nuclear weapons. Britain will be in very very dangerous territory if they get

01:00nuclear weapons. So I want to see all necessary activity done to make sure that they don't acquire

01:04these nuclear weapons.
