According to British newspaper The Telegraph, the UK does not intend to join the US Navy in operations off the coast of "Israel", citing a navy source, even though the UK already has two ships deployed in the region. 

The source states that the UK's HMS Diamond, a Type 45 destroyer, is currently in the Red Sea off Yemen’s coast, while the HMS Lancaster is in the Arabian Sea.

The UK's announcement additionally comes amid an awaited Iranian retaliatory response to "Israel's" airstrike on its consulate in Syria last week.

The US President reiterated that Washington was "devoted to the defense of Israel, we will support Israel, we will help defend Israel," adding that "Iran will not succeed."

Biden stressed that his country's "commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad."

"Israel" and the United States have been coordinating "joint air and missile defense" operations in the region in anticipation of a prospective Iranian attack.

Reportedly, it has been circulated that it is not a matter of "if" Iran would respond, but rather when. 

A senior Israeli official revealed that "Tel Aviv" has requested assistance from Washington to mitigate the Iranian response by conveying private and public cautionary messages to Tehran, as well as by demonstrating its presence in the region, according to Axios.
