US-Israel Attack Iran: UK PM Starmer Defends Use of UK Bases for Defensive Action
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has defended the decision to allow the United States to use British military bases for limited defensive strikes against Iranian missile storage sites and launchers amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Starmer emphasised that the UK is not participating in offensive operations against Iran but agreed to the US request to protect British citizens and regional allies from Iranian missile and drone attacks. He said the move is grounded in collective self-defence and international law, aiming to prevent further Iranian aggression and safeguard lives, while reaffirming a preference for diplomatic resolution to the broader crisis.
