As the US continues its illegal war of aggression against Iran defence secretary John Healey says he's "proud" of "our US-UK relationship" which allows the two "to do things together that no other nations will do" After thousands of US/Israeli strikes, he urges Iran to "de-escalate" #DCUKparliament
