Will sucking up to America keep the UK safe? | LBC

Donald Trump has claimed Saturday's US airstrike on Iran has 'ended the war' in the Middle East - as the US president insisted nuclear sites in the region have been 'totally obliterated'. Speaking from the emergency Nato summit in The Hague, Donald Trump, seated beside Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte, admitted the "last thing [Iran] want to do is enrich anything right now". Trump was seen to reject recent leaks suggesting the US airstrike had only set Iran's uranium enrichment programme back "months". Instead, the US president stated the nuclear programme had been "totally obliterated" for "decades" to come. Hitting out at reports suggesting the strike was less successful than the White House claims, Trump branded a host of US media outlets "scum" for their reporting. Flanked by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the trio announced that a full FBI investigation into the leak would now take place.
