Last week, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated, "This is not our war." However, it has emerged that the situation behind closed doors is very different. The UK Ministry of Defence announced that it has granted permission for the US to use British bases for certain operations against Iran.
England has granted the United States permission to use British bases for certain 'defensive' operations. This decision was made to target Iran's missile capabilities in the region.
THE US HAS ALREADY BEEN USING BRITISH BASES
England announced that it has granted the United States permission to use British bases for certain "defensive" operations against Iran. A spokesperson for the UK Ministry of Defence provided a written response to AA reporter's questions, "Is it technically possible for the US to use bases in the UK for attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure? What is the UK government's approach to this?"
The spokesperson noted that the UK has allowed the US to use British bases for "defensive" missions aimed at destroying Iran's missile capabilities, which threaten the British public, its bases, and allies in the region.
"USED IN DEFENSIVE OPERATIONS AGAINST IRAN"
The Ministry spokesperson stated, "The US is using British bases for certain defensive operations aimed at preventing Iran from launching missiles into the region. This occurs in addition to the defensive measures taken by the UK to protect British citizens in the area."
Additionally, the spokesperson conveyed that they would not comment on the operations of the UK's allies, including the use of British bases.
The spokesperson did not respond to the question, "Do you confirm the reports that B-52 bombers belonging to the US have taken off from Fairford Base, which belongs to the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the UK?"
