The British government issued a pivotal authorization on Friday, allowing the United States to utilize military bases in the UK for targeted strikes on Iranian missile sites. These sites have been reportedly attacking ships navigating through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
This decision followed a significant meeting of British ministers convened to deliberate the ongoing Iran conflict and Iran's strategic blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint in global oil shipments.
According to a statement from Downing Street, the accord empowers the United States to undertake defensive operations. The operations aim to degrade missile sites causing regional maritime instability, thereby supporting the collective self-defense of the area.
