  And which territory was that?
  Was it a base being used militarily against them?

        The UK’s military base on Cypress was attacked in the opening weekend of the war. At the time the UK was not allowing the US to use any of its bases. Once that (and attacks on the gulf states who also werent participating in the war) happened the UK shifted to allowing the US to use its bases for “defensive” strikes.
