Theresa May ‘orders submarines to Syria as Britain prepares to strike’
Joe Roberts for Metro.co.uk
Theresa May has reportedly ordered British submarines to move within striking range of Syria.
The alleged move signals Britain’s eagerness to join the US in retaliation strikes against the Syrian military.
The strikes could begin as early as Thursday night, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Government sources allegedly said Britain was ‘doing everything necessary’ to be able to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles from submarines against military targets in Syria.
The Prime Minister is holding an emergency Cabinet meeting tomorrow after declaring ‘all the indications’ were that Bashar al-Assad’s regime launched the chemical strike that killed at least 40 people in Douma.
It comes after Jeremy Corbyn demanded that Parliament be given a say before any military action is taken.
‘Parliament should always be given a say on military action,’ Mr Corbyn told the BBC when asked about Syria.
‘Obviously the situation is very serious, obviously there has to be, now, a demand for a political process to end the war in Syria.
‘We cannot risk an escalation even further than it’s gone already.’
The Labour leader would prefer all sides to sit down and negotiate an end to the civil war.
Corbyn added: ‘What happened last weekend was terrible.
‘What we don’t want is bombardment which leads to escalation and leads to a hot war between Russia and America over the skies of Syria.’
US President Donald Trump has warned of imminent military action in Syria in response to the attack.
