Gordon Brown 'will back air strikes on Iran'
By Tim Shipman in Washington
Last Updated: 1:52am BST 08/10/2007
Gordon Brown has agreed to support US air strikes against Iran if the
Islamic republic orchestrates large-scale attacks by militants against
British or American forces in Iraq, according to senior Pentagon
officials.
Frontline: Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
Washington sources say the Prime Minister has been informed of US
plans to launch limited air and special forces raids against
Revolutionary Guard bases.

After talks with President George W Bush in July, Mr Brown left US
officials with the belief that Britain was "on board" for a military
response - but only if Iran was proved to be behind a big militant
attack or another stunt similar to the kidnapping in March of British
sailors.
The US wants Britain's Special Air Service Regiment to take part in
special forces raids inside Iran and has requested help from the Royal
Navy to combat Iranian retaliation in the Gulf. But no decisions have
been made.
Mr Brown made clear to Mr Bush that he would not support a campaign to
destroy Iran's nuclear programme and bring about regime change in
Teheran.
But Pentagon officials say he did indicate he would be prepared to
back strikes in certain circumstances.
Vincent Cannistraro, a former White House intelligence chief in close
contact with senior Pentagon officials, said: "The British understand
there's a possible need to strike - not strategic bombing of nuclear
sites but facilities in Iran in support of Iraqi elements. This
understanding was reached shortly after Brown took office."
The threat of action has been passed to the Iranian government and is
credited with slowing the flood of Iranian weapons into Iraq.
The suggestion that Mr Brown has discussed air strikes will anger
critics who believe Tony Blair was too quick to approve military
action against Iraq.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "While we won't comment on the
specifics of conversations between the Prime Minister and the
President of the United States, this is not a version of events we
recognise."
A source close to Mr Brown said the two had talked about Iran but "we
have not had this conversation".
