      >British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has just shared a video statement on X.

      >He says the UK is going to allow the US to take defensive action from British military bases.

      >“Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to defend them… We have British jets in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations… which have already successfully intercepted Iranian strikes,“ he says.

      >“But the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source – in their storage depots or the launchers which are used to fire the missiles.“

      >He says the US has „requested permission to use British bases for that specific and limited defensive purpose“.

      >“We have taken the decision to accept this request to prevent Iran firing missiles across the region killing innocent civilians, putting British lives at risks and hitting countries that have not been involved,“ he adds.

      Not much choice now the area is in flames and our troops and assets in Bahrain and Cyprus are being targeted!

      What bases? Al Udeid in Qatar is shared with the US.

      Al Minhad in the UAE? The US already has established airbases there so what difference would it make?

      Maybe Akotiri and Diego Garcia, but they’re miles out to be of any use now the assets are already there except maybe flying U2s out of Akotiri for scouting launch sites.

      Trump caused all this. It’s all on that fat prick and all those Yankee imbeciles that voted for him, twice.

    7. FelisCantabrigiensis on

      Great, now we’re getting sucked into Gulf War 3.

      Trump and Bibi made this mess, Trump and Bibi should be left to handle it, using their own resources.

      „defensive action“

      so is that just using the bases to intercept incoming missiles and drones then?

    9. Appropriate-Gap6817 on

      Nothing defensive about bombing the shit out of a sovereign nation

    10. spiderham42 on

      Defensive action? They are the aggressor. We should not be getting caught up in helping to defend and illegal action. The spin is just ridiculous.

    12. somedegree123 on

      Defensive attacks? What kind of double speak is this? Labour dragging us in to a US war yet again

    13. KoffieCreamer on

      Starmer just cannot do a thing right can he? Let’s get sucked into a war that Trump has caused and assist with the Epstein file distraction.

      Bravo Starmer.

      Not sure why anyone would oppose the shooting down of missiles heading for innocent civilians in the Gulf.

      That being said, how the UK can ensure the US doesn’t use their bases for offensive operations, I do not know.

    15. Krakshotz on

      Let me guess, Trump’s now promised to greenlight the Chagos Deal… again

    16. el_grort on

      It seems to be about intercepts of missiles and drones that might hit British assets as well as civilian targets, which seems fine, if a little unpalatable because of the cause of the risk. But less deaths where we can actually influence them seems better than not. Not like we’re striking Iran or have the ability to get Israel/America down from their current position.

    17. the-player-of-games on

      I hope everyone slagging off starmer for this is aware that multiple UK bases have been targeted by Iranian drones and missiles

      This after the UK refused to let the US use bases for the start of the attacks on Iran

    18. cagemeplenty on

      Sick of being the yanks Puppet.

      Let them deal with their own mess for once.

    19. Ok_Bat_686 on

      Have any of our bases been targeted yet? If they’re being used as a station for US war activities, that would make them a valid military target and they’d be more likely to get attacked.

    20. JWadie on

      Iran was already firing missiles at our bases in the region anyway (not to mention anyone they can reach), so I’m suprised we’re not getting dragged in on that basis alone

    21. LostInTheVoid_ on

      There’s absolutely been a shift in the last 12ish hours by several nations. France is actively now sending a CSG to the Med after apparently one of it’s bases were targeted. As it stands the language* being used by UK, France and Germany is that of defensive* actions. But clearly the attacks on nations not directly involved in the initial operations has caused European military commanders and Governments to shift tact slightly.

    22. R9182 on

      Defensive action which involves offensively targeting missile sites. You couldn’t make this shit up. Starmer is a fucking clown.

    24. BroodLord1962 on

      Starmer is a prick. We should not getting involved in this at all. All this action against Iran will do is lead to more terror attacks on the UK

    26. InfiniteTallgeese on

      I like that we took a principled stand not to be involved for less than a full weekend before getting involved.

    27. PJBuzz on

      How do you determine defensive and offensive operations in a base that’s likely to be used for the staging of one of the other and the party isn’t going to share their specific plans?

      Absolute bullshit.

      If this includes foreign UK bases then we are months (maybe weeks) away from a UK base being struck by an attack and getting dragged into the war.

      Cowards.
