DISINFO: The UK is dreaming of destroying Israel
SUMMARY
London has long been dreaming about destroying Israel. In this scenario, the UK would restore its imperial authority and boost its influence in the Middle East. Pakistan’s recent statements supportive of Iran, including its readiness to use nuclear weapons against Israel in case the latter attacks Iran with nuclear arms, have to do with the ties between the UK and part of Pakistan’s political establishment.
RESPONSE
This is a conspiracy aimed to discredit the UK, made in the context of the series of Israel’s airstrikes in Iran which started on 12 June 2025. There is no evidence to support claims about the UK's imperial ambitions or its anti-Israel plans. The pro-Kremlin media repeatedly accuse the UK and other Western countries of imperialism in Ukraine, Central Asia, Middle East, and elsewhere.
This conspiracy is based on a false claim by Iranian General Mohsen Rezaei, who stated that Pakistan had assured Iran it would launch a nuclear retaliation attack on Israel in case the latter’s use of nuclear arms against Iran. Pakistan’s minister rejected this claim and dismissed the statement as false.
The 14 June 2025 statement by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union reiterated EU's strong commitment to regional security, including the security of the State of Israel, and called on all sides to abide by international law, show restraint and refrain from taking further steps which could lead to serious consequences.
