Israel-Iran live: Trump says he 'may or may not' strike Iran - as Starmer calls emergency COBRA meeting
It's likely Sir Keir Starmer's government won't wade into the Middle East in defence of Israel, according to our experts. Speaking in our live Q&A earlier this afternoon, our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn said there were some roles Britain could hypothetically play. Britain could help plug the gaps in Israel's dwindling arsenal by supplying air defence projectiles - with reports emerging today that Israel was burning through its supplies of Arrow interceptors. But Waghorn said: "I think Britain's got to think very carefully about this. "We have sent various RAF assets to the region and there's a possibility that they get involved in trying to protect Israel from more missile attacks." Our military analyst Michael Clarke points out that defence secretary John Healey suggested this at a defence conference this week. "I thought it was rather curious," said Clarke. Both described any British involvement as "politically hard to imagine". Waghorn said: "I think there's a real queasiness about that in the British government, and there's a lot of concern, I think, among Labour MPs as to what Israel's done, why it's done it so pre-emptively and has it provided any evidence. "I think Britain is like what we're saying about China and Russia and everyone else - stay out of it." Catch up on their insight from our Q&A below...

Israel v Iran: What's next?
👉Listen to The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim on your podcast app👈 Israel has attacked Iran, and its operation will continue for "as many days as it takes", according to Benjamin Netanyahu. Iran's leader, meanwhile, has vowed "severe punishment" in return. In this extra episode of The World, Yalda Hakim is joined by Sky News's international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn to ask why Israel decided to launch these attacks now and whether this is the start of something much bigger. He's standing in for Richard - who is on his way to the Middle East. Yalda reveals what she's hearing from Mossad agents in Israel, and Dominic - who has just returned from Iran - explains why the leaders there are boxed in a corner. Also, Yalda and Dominic discuss whether the initial response from the rest of the world will hold. Can Donald Trump stay out of any escalation? And what does it mean for the UK?
