The United States has begun using British bases for defensive operations.
According to the UK Ministry of Defence, “the United States has begun using British bases for specific defensive operations aimed at deterring Iran from launching missiles in the region, something that could put British lives at risk.”
The ministry added that RAF Typhoon and F-35 fighter jets have continued air operations over Jordan, Qatar, Cyprus and the wider region to defend British interests and allies.
It also noted that a Merlin helicopter is on its way to the region to provide additional aerial surveillance and further strengthen defensive capabilities that had been pre-deployed earlier this year.
