LONDON - Britain does not think either the United States or Iran want a war but is very concerned an accidental war could be triggered, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Monday. “We are very concerned: we don’t think either side wants a war, but we are very concerned that we could get into an accidental war and we are doing everything we can to ratchet things down,” Hunt told BBC radio.
Hunt said Britain had been closely in touch with the United States over the “very dangerous situation in the Gulf”Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge; editing by Michael Holden
An “accidental” war—how does that work, exactly?
All started by the accidental president!
Firstly there is absolutely no dangerous situation in Iran other than the US/UK interference. The US ripped up the nuclear agreement not Iran. Secondly and very obviously, to anyone with half ounce of common sense, there is no such thing as accidental war. LIES LIES LIES
Wars are never accidental. They are always orchestrated for gain by someone.
Tory minister covering himself incase of a general election. It will not be accident wars are for political class, their lobbyists- sponsors- and economics
Accidental? This war will be no accident. It will have been a carefully planned operation by America, Israel and their cretinous allies. It will start with a FalseFlag.
Love the word play! 'accidental'. People are more educated and well informed thanks to technology and Internet. Stop this stupid word play like you are talking to bunch of 4 years old children.
I believe Bolton and Pompeo are in the Middle East right now trying to make that accident happen.
Does Reuters not understand how funny this sounds? Wars aren't 'accidents', sheesh.
US-IRAN :War already started--cyber war ! On Thursday US attaked & cripled Iran's computer system WHCH controls missile launches together with attack on computers of Iran's intelligence collection agency--as per news emanating from Wash.DC. To withhold esclation may b imposble
O really you think people will fool again ? There is no such a thing called accidental war ... and when its a war then US destruction will be accidental too ? And if Britain stand with US Iran war then the damage on britain shall accidental as well correct ?
If Trump creates a war with Iran, I dont think the usual allies shoul automatically sign up. That said, Iran is cerainly asking for it
When the enemy is kept in the crosshairs of your loaded weapon a simple sneeze will be enough to start the chain reaction.
This gets my “headline of the year vote” for 2019 so far 👏👏 Ehem so sorry for starting that war Iran, sure while we’re here mind if we steal some oil?
Accidental sabotage of tankers in international waters and targeting of driones in international airspace does tend to lead to accidental wars.
And you’re confirming this by listening to an idiotic statement made by Jeremy_Hunt who hasn’t got the power or the authority to say that in the first place. He is the man who crippled our NHSuk and now he is here to cripple of our country with a his brain size of a pea.
Its not 'Accidental', America wants war with Iran
There will be nothing accidental about that war.....
This clown hunt should be told to shut up who does he think he is
Nothing is “accidental.”
Accidental ...
Americans need to use their 2nd Amendment and end this President!
nah we're good thanks
some vile elements, miscalculation or fringe terrorist group, can easily escalate the potential of conflict in to a full-scale war in the Arabian gulf, unless a fast settlement is reached between the opposing groups.
Well, if it occurs it won't be accidental, I can promise that. It will be a premeditated aggression with some false accusation, to ensure realDonaldTrump gets support and to avoid impeachment.
If will start a war between USA and Iran, then it won't occur accidentally, but after ample manipulative manoeuvres by the USA and its allies in the region in order to manipulate Iran to open a war with the USA.
Actually, The mother of all butt kickings to Iran wont be an 'accident' buddy, they have actually earned it many times over, by braking ALL nuclear Uranium enrichment laws and for talking 'crap' against the U.S. and Israel on a regular basis.
It seems like mother fu**er foxes lost their fathers and hearings as us authorities said they didn’t want war and I said that time us fought instead of you gone🖕 well we know you, jewish gang and some us piggies like mike even mullahs have dreams but don’t have balls 😉
The British have always been known to do what ever puts their best interests first. An ally in WWII but still; Churchill would have sold his own mother for a nickel. As for Tony Blair? He blamed it all on W. when he himself was just as culpable. Now this. No shock at all.
I'm pretty sure if you tear up an arms limitation treaty with a nation and position naval forces near their borders and fly spy drones just outside (or inside) their territory and then retaliate because the drone gets shot down,and then a war occurs:that's not really an accident.
Which they will join anyway
Accidental ? When trump has hired boulton as national security advisor !
if Iran continue finishing war USA will have No choice but to offer them.
Accidental? aaaahahahaha
Britain as a whole? That's not what I've heard
