UK will allow US to use its bases to strike Iranian missile sites, Starmer says

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the United States will be allowed to use British bases to strike Iranian missile sites. This decision was framed as an act of 'collective self-defence' to protect allies and British lives following recent Iranian missile attacks in the region. While the UK has not joined US-Israeli strikes, it has conducted defensive operations, and this move signals increased military cooperation. The joint UK-US base on Diego Garcia is a likely location for the US to launch these potential operations.
