Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, with Israel launching airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iran vowing to retaliate. The UK and US are involved, with the UK sending jets to the Middle East to protect personnel and bases, and the US having recently bombed Iranian nuclear sites. The situation is being closely watched, with concerns about the risk of further escalation and the impact on regional stability.
