UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed on Sunday that Britain has granted the United States permission to use select UK-linked bases for what he described as 'specific and limited defensive' strikes on Iranian missile sites.
The decision follows escalating regional tensions after joint US-Israeli strikes on 28 February reportedly killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks across multiple countries in the region. UK officials said British personnel and civilians were among those potentially at risk.
