Has the Third World War already begun?

DOES it matter that Britain is training soldiers from the Israeli Defence forces here in order for them to conduct an illegal war?
-
Is it of no consequence that Prime Minister Starmer is sending typhoon jets and refuelling planes to support Israel’s bombing of Iran? How does this represent “de-escalation”?
Millions of us are outraged and protest that these are acts of warfare, not even voted upon by our elected representatives in Parliament.
In the context of international law, and to be confirmed by the hindsight of written history, the UK is “at War”. Our political leaders, including the Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard, are complicit with genocide in Gaza and illegal bombing of the citizens of Tehran, the capital city of Iran. Neither of these joint military actions are happening in self-defence.
Israel's invasion and occupation of Gaza, destroying 80% of buildings, all infrastructure, killing 60,000 unarmed civilians with 200,000 seriously injured is not proportionate to the stated 1,000 Israelis killed by Hamas fighters 19 months ago.
