Britain refuses to allow US to use military bases to attack Iran

The UK government has not given permission for the United States to use British military bases in the event of a possible attack on Iran, the BBC reports .

According to official sources, London has not authorized the use of RAF Fairford bases in Gloucestershire or the strategic base on the island of Diego Garcia, located in the Indian Ocean and administered by Britain in the Chagos Islands. These bases have previously been used by the US for military operations in the Middle East.

Reports from The Times newspaper suggest that US President Donald Trump's recent criticism of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Chagos Islands deal may be related to the fact that Britain has not granted permission for the use of bases that could be used to attack Iran.

President Trump has warned that within the “next 10 days” it will become clear whether the US will reach a deal with Iran on its nuclear program or take military action. Washington has increased its military presence in the region, moving warships and aircraft in a move that resembles a possible attack scenario.

On the other hand, positive developments have been reported in talks between American and Iranian negotiators in Switzerland. The British government has stated that it supports the diplomatic process and has emphasized that its priority remains regional security and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

A British government spokesman declined to comment further. “As usual, we do not comment on operational matters.” He added that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons and that Britain is working with allies to that end.

Under existing agreements, the US must seek prior permission to use British military bases for combat operations. In the past, RAF Fairford and other facilities on British territory have been used by the US, but with the full approval of London. The issue of the use of bases is also closely linked to international law. According to the latter, a state that supports a military action by another state, being aware of the circumstances, can be considered jointly responsible for the consequences.

Meanwhile, tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high, with diplomacy and the threat of military force being discussed. Britain's decision not to grant permission at this stage reflects London's caution in avoiding direct involvement in a new conflict in the Middle East.
