STORYLINE:
UK government has said U.S. bombers can use RAF Fairford, a base in western England, for attacks on Iran’s missiles and their launch sites.
It comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially blocked American planes from using British bases for the attacks on Iran that started on Saturday.
He later agreed to let the United States use bases in England and on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to strike Iran’s ballistic missiles and their storage sites, but not to hit other targets.
Britain says its bases can’t be used for attacks on political and economic targets in Iran, and Starmer said the U.K. is “not joining the U.S. and Israeli offensive strikes.”
More than two decades after Britain followed the United States into a devastating war in Iraq, it is trying to avoid being drawn into a new Middle East conflict with unpredictable consequences.
