    Iran launched drones at the UK bases on Cyprus and Riyadh long before any announcement that the UK would let the US use them.

    I’m definitely opposed to the war with Iran but let’s put facts first; Iran through their proxies have been indiscriminately firing on ships in the gulf for nearly a decade and when the US and Israel attacked them they launched missiles and drones at pretty much every cluster of buildings near to the Gulf with no concern for what they might hit or any apparent strategy.

      well see I can see allowing the strikes then. These are things countries decide to do so even if they had not or had really struck in the past I think the big thing is if iran as struck it since the invasion began. Basically are they asking for it (iran that is). im not british though so peanut gallery here. you know if was kinda nice back in the day when a democracy sorta had to get an attack to start attacking a place. pretty sweet those days.
