UK troops in Gulf part of move ‘to encircle Iran’
AS British PM Cameron eyes up defense co-operation with the UAE, wider British and US plans to increase their armed forces in the Gulf may be part of a geopolitical move to encircle Iran and expand NATO.
David Cameron, the Prime Minister, announced the possible deployment on Friday ahead of a visit to Oman where he is expected to conclude a 2.5 billion dollar deal with the Omani government for 12 Typhoon fighter jets.
These are the latest sales of a plane the Prime Minster has said he is “very keen” to promote. Saudi Arabia already has 72 of the aircraft and Cameron wants to set up a defense partnership with the United Arab Emirates which could involve an order for up to 60 more.
“What you are seeing specifically with the United Arab Emirates is not just a plan to sell Typhoon aircraft, but a big, significant defense co-operation, which could lead to more British troops stationed in the country,” Cameron told journalists at camp Bastion in Afghanistan on Friday.
