Jeremy Corbyn warns of lack of 'credible evidence' over Iran tanker attack allegations

Mr. Corbyn tweeted: “Britain should act to ease tensions in the Gulf, not fuel a military escalation that began with US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement.

“Without credible evidence about the tanker attacks, the government’s rhetoric will only increase the threat of war.”

The UK is working on “diplomatic solutions” to “de-escalate tensions”, he added.
