Farage: UK ‘fundamentally changed’ by Iran-linked terrorism since October 7
Reform UK leader says US-Israel war on Iran 'the right one'
Nigel Farage has claimed the UK has fundamentally changed as a result of terrorism funded by Iran in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
The Reform UK leader strongly criticised Keir Starmer’s position over the US-Israeli war on Iran, saying:”Frankly, if this operation stops Iran getting a nuclear weapon, it would have been worth it. I believe that very, very strongly.”
Farage added, “I would argue in the case of Iran, since October 7, this country has fundamentally changed as a result of terrorism funded by Iran.
“I’m really incredibly nervous about intervening in foreign wars, but I believe it’s the right one.”
He also aimed to counter suggestions that he was leading his party into a position that was subservient to US President Donald Trump.
Farage told a central London press conference: “There are times to say no to the Americans, absolutely. We should have said no a couple of times in the last 25 years.
“Of course, because Saddam Hussein didn’t pose any direct threat to this country, they had to invent a threat.”
The meeting was held to announce former Labour Newham council chief Sir Robin Wales and ex-councillor Clive Furness have joined the party.
