These are decisions made by the Starmer government in supporting the deadly US-Israeli war on Iran which has killed over 3,400 people.
This does not include the constant and unrestricted intelligence gathering using British bases, such as from RAF Dhekelia.
1 March:
Starmer states the US could use UK military bases for a "specific and limited defensive purpose" - framed as destroying Iranian missiles "at source"
2 March:
RAF flying air patrols shoot down an Iranian drone over Jordan using Eurofighter Typhoon deployed to Qatar in January. Britain has been flying Eurofighter Typhoon and F-35 fighter jets as “air patrols” in support of Gulf monarchies.
3 March:
UK announces it will deploy warship HMS Dragon to Cyprus, with two Wildcat attack helicopters with missiles
4 March:
Starmer announces fighter jets continue with air operations across “Middle East in defence of British interests and allies”
7 March:
The UK Ministry of Defence confirms the US had begun using British bases to launch attacks. 4 U.S. B-1B Lancer bombers land at RAF Fairford to be used against Iran, just as the U.S. announces attacks on Iran are “about to surge dramatically.”
9 March:
Three US B-52 bombers land at RAF Fairford. This is the US Air Force’s largest and heaviest bomber - capable of carrying nuclear weapons and precision-guided munitions.
20 March:
Starmer announces UK bases explicitly available for all U.S. operations. The stipulation they be “defensive” is a lie to save face - launching a B-52 bomber against a civilian population is not defensive.
Declassified reveal that the MoD’s first earth imaging satellite, Tyche, passed over Iran dramatically more times in the lead up to the US-Israeli war on Iran. The satellite can capture at a 90cm resolution within a range of 5km - which means it can gather high levels of military information.
28 March:
RFA Lyme Bay is deployed to Strait of Hormuz. The dock landing ship is armed with two cannons, 10 machine guns, and two further weapons systems.
9 May:
UK government announces HMS Dragon warship will be deployed to Strait of Hormuz.
