UK Set to Block US Use of RAF Bases for Attacks on Iranian Civilian Sites

Prime Minister Starmer will refuse any request from the US President to use British RAF bases for strikes on Iranian bridges or power plants. Legal experts warn that targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime under international law. Reports cite the Prime Minister’s commitment to limit US access to operations that protect UK interests or allied security in the Gulf. The US President has threatened a “four-hour blitz” on Iran’s key utilities if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Refusing British basing rights could deepen tensions between the two leaders.
