As fear of war rises in the Middle East, Trinidad and Tobago yesterday expressed support for the United States and Israel’s action in Iran as well as solidarity with affected Gulf states that faced retaliatory missiles from the Islamic regime.

“The Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs wishes to express its support for the continued actions of the United States of America aimed at preventing oppressive regimes from acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities that would jeopardise international peace and security,” the ministry said in a release.

The ministry stated that the proliferation of such weapons was a grave threat to the global community.
