Charles Malet examines claims by the UK Government that there was no UK involvement in offensive action taken by Israel, and the US against Iran and all subsequent military actions have been part of a 'collective self-defence'.
Charles analyses continuous claims by the state propaganda machine that the UK will not be drawn into a 'wider war'. What is the wider war, to what extent have the British been drawn in, and where is this conflict heading?
In this special segment, illustrated with clips from retired senior British Army officer and author General Sir Richard Shirreff, Charles explores these questions and scrutinises the UK Government’s arguments to see if they stack up.
