UK Backs Saudi Jets Against Houthis in Major Policy Shift

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has agreed to provide air-to-air refuelling for Saudi jets defending energy infrastructure against Iran-backed Houthi attacks, marking a significant first foreign policy commitment of his government. The move comes as Burnham prepares to meet Donald Trump for the first time on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. Burnham says he also plans to urge Trump to pursue an end to the broader conflict with Iran.
