A UK government minister said there is no proof that Iran has missiles that can reach London. He said there is no information that Iran wants to attack the UK or can do it. The minister said the UK can protect its people and places.

Iran tried to attack a US-UK military base on an island far from Iran. One missile did not work, and the other missile was stopped by the US. Some people say Iran wants to make longer-range missiles, but experts say these missiles are not very accurate and cannot easily reach the UK.

Some people in the UK worry that helping the US could make the war bigger. Some political parties want the UK Parliament to vote before letting the US use UK bases for attacks. The government said there is no need for a vote to protect British people.
