The British government has authorized the United States to utilize UK military bases for strikes against Iranian missile sites. This decision follows accusations of “reckless strikes” by Iran impacting ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated his intention to avoid direct involvement in a war with Iran, characterizing the government’s new position as defensive in nature.
Downing Street confirmed the expansion of authorization after the recent accusations. Simultaneously, Iran’s foreign minister has called on UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to cease cooperation with the US regarding this matter.
