Iran crisis: Boris Johnson in desperate bid to stop Trump declaring war on Tehran

The Prime Minister urged for a “diplomatic response” to the attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities during talks with the US President on Wednesday. Mr Johnson and Mr Trump, who is pointing the finger at Iran, discussed the weekend attacks on the world’s leading oil exporter.

Surely Trump cant be thinking of going to war, not after what he said during the election

Trump won't be going to war, he isn't a warmonger like Obama was.

Iran attacks saudi and takes out 5% of the worlds oil supply and I suppose you think it should be ignored. Had obama been in power the middle east would be a smoking ruin now. Trump stands up to them and will use every measure available before war.
He certainly is not the war monger the left tried to present him as.
At some point however war with Iran is the only option left. It would save the iranian people from the dictatorship they suffer under. But let saudi fire the first shots and let iran destroy mecca and medina and see how that works out for them.

thanks to fracking america is no longer as reliant on the middle east for oil.

Military action should only be an absolute last resort, first things first more advanced radar technology.

Why would Iran want to strike Mecca and Medina?

because they have said they will destroy anyone who attacks them.

However re your post title, the UK have said they will possibly join military action if it comes to that.
