Jeremy Corbyn was last night branded a risk to Britain’s national security after accusing the Government of trying to stir up conflict in the Gulf.

The hard-Left Labour leader suggested there was no ‘credible evidence’ that Iran was responsible for the attacks on two oil tankers, which have dramatically heightened tensions in the region.

But Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt backed US claims that the Tehran regime was ‘almost certainly’ behind Thursday’s incident, a view supported by video footage released by Washington.

His comments were branded as ‘pathetic and predictable’ by Mr Hunt.

Leading a chorus of condemnation from all six of the Conservative leadership contenders, he said: ‘Why can he never bring himself to back British allies, British intelligence or British interests? We actually have video evidence that shows what the Iranians have been doing.’
