B-1B and B-52 bombers arrive at RAF Fairford as the U.S. prepares for a sustained, high-intensity bombing campaign against Iranian missile sites and infrastructure. Analysts warn of a "dramatic surge" in Operation Epic Fury.
The deployment of heavy bombers to the United Kingdom’s RAF Fairford indicates that the U.S. and its allies are moving from initial "decapitation" strikes to a sustained, high-intensity bombardment of Iranian military and industrial infrastructure.
As of March 7–9, 2026, multiple U.S. strategic bombers have landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. Official military reports confirm that a total of four B-1B Lancer bombers have arrived, with additional B-52H Stratofortress and B-2 Spirit stealth bombers expected to follow shortly or operate out of the UK-US base at Diego Garcia.

Why don’t we just create a budget and strategically bomb the hell out of Iran every 3 months until we get a government we want?

He was against it.
Starmer is a world class idiot. Someone obviously told him he had to do this. No way he would of otherwise.

"And yet many Freepers mocked and insulted Starmer for voicing Britain's support for Trump's war."
He initially blocked our use of British bases to fly out of. He got schlonged by President Trump, members of Parliament, and his own citizens. He was so humiliated by the verbal attacks, he did a U-Turn.

And in ‘80 they thought Reagan was going to be tough on them.
Glad they didn’t “surrender” as we can finally clean out the terrorists running Iran.

He was sending navel assets in five more days to a conflict they will never see.
He banned the US from using bases that were already approved for use.
Yes, breaking ties with the US is to be lambasted.

I remember ground bouncing in Lai Khe Vietnam, 67-68 with B-52’s carpet bombing (Thunder Road). Did patrols in same area - massive craters. Tet 68 was fun as well.

Hope Trump continues his humiliation of him.
Deserved.
