Keir Starmer has agreed to allow the US to use UK military bases to launch attacks that degrade Iran’s missiles.
In a recorded statement, the prime minister said 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”.

Diego García?
Our hero on the radio-the big fella- once said the proper way to handle it is this: “We’re gonna attack this country. Are you in or out?”
Does this include the base at Diego Garcia? We need that for our bombers.
speech?
Went out of his way multiple times saying this isn’t “Offensive action”
Can’t upset all the UK Muslims now can he
Just hitting the wires
Reports of explosion at UK air base in Cyprus
B-1Bs and B-2s are now surely headed to UK and Diego Garcia.
B-52s will follow in a few days.
Very dark times for the Iranian regime as few of them will be left alive.
Yeah, I can. He's a c___!
“Does this include the base at Diego Garcia?”
Yes.
And they are most certainly on their way...along with MULTIPLE cargo aircraft/ships to carry munitions and fuel.
“Reports of explosion at UK air base in Cyprus”
Full speed ahead!
“…the prime minister said the “only way to stop the threat..”
Took ya that long to dope it out? Ya know, Keir, maybe you ain’t the guy…

For the past month we’ve been flying air refueling missions out of the UK bases, specifically RAF Mildenhall.
KC-135’s are stationed there, as well as newer KC-46’s, and I think I saw on flight radar a KC-10 or 2. I’ve been to RAF Mildenhall many times and drank my fill at the Bird-in-Hand!
And funny thing is, the Royal Air Force—UK’s, i.e., Starmer’s Air Force—has been running missions along the USAF refuelers with their Voyager KC-Mk 2 and Mk 3s, Based on the Airbus A330-200 frame, right across Europe to the Middle East all month also.
either let us use it or you lose it to DJT. How simple would it be for him to say, Diego Garcia now belongs to the USA and we will work out a payment after this conflict. Good night.
Correct.
Brit and Saudi opposition may have all been part of the deception.
people here are trashing Starmer for doing an about face, but the point is, he’s removed himself as an obstacle to the success of the USA in it’s efforts to save the world from an Iranian regime bent on nuclear war ... so, i say, kudos to Starmer: better late than never!
He’s trying to get on the winning side the chicken-—t.
Will Macron be next?
Iran launching missiles at Akrotiri was a terrible idea on their part. Very dangerous.
Greece is a member of NATO. If they want, they can invoke NATO Article V against the Iranian military. Basically, ‘an attack against one is an attack against all’.
I don’t know if they’ll press the issue? Theoretically, all of NATO could be put in action against Iran at this point.
I don’t think many of them have any stomach for fighting. They’ll drag their feet, make committees, etc. for months. By that time, this will all be over.
Greek was attacked not could invoke article V it already has invoked it. This is why you see France the UK, Germany all mobilising they are treaty bound to do so any other is word service. If they don’t the USA can say you are in violation of the NATO treaty and it is void thank you for your attention to this matter. They know it we know it. So to save.face with their own muzzie hoards and to not admit they need the USA in NATO but not the other way around you her all this political theater. Make no mistake as soon as hostile.missiles landed in Greece article V is in full effect. It says one for all and all for one.
