Prime Minister Keir Starmer has granted the United States permission to operate a fleet of B-2 stealth bombers from British military installations, clearing the way for a sharp escalation in the allied air campaign against Iran.
The policy reversal, which will see the advanced aircraft launching from UK runways within 'a matter of days' according to Wednesday reports from The Telegraph, follows direct warnings from US President Donald Trump that a massive military offensive is imminent. The coordinated deployment reflects a rapidly shifting security landscape after a week of intense fighting across the Middle East.
