UK Military Chief: "We Have Got to Restore Deterrence" Against Iran
(Sky News-UK) Deborah Haynes - After an Iranian attack on a tanker killed British security guard Adrian Underwood, Gen. Sir Nick Carter, the UK's military chief, told BBC Radio 4, "What we need to be doing fundamentally is calling out Iran for very reckless behavior. They made a big mistake on the attack they did against the Mercer Street vessel last week because, of course, that has very much internationalized the state of play in the Gulf." "Ultimately, we have got to restore deterrence because it is behavior like that which leads to escalation, and that could very easily lead to miscalculation and that would be very disastrous for all the peoples of the Gulf and the international community."
