Rome, 2 March (LaPresse) – In a video on X, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that he had given the US the green light to use British bases in attacks on Iran. ‘We have decided to accept this request to prevent Iran from launching missiles across the region, killing innocent civilians, putting British lives at risk and targeting countries that have not been involved,’ he said. Starmer clarified that London will not ‘join the offensive action’ at this time, but ‘supports the collective self-defence of our allies and our people in the region.’
