Starmer Blocks Trump From Using RAF Bases to Strike Iran
20th February 2026
Sir Keir Starmer has blocked Donald Trump from using RAF bases to strike Iran.
The Government is yet to give consent for the US to use military bases in the UK to launch bombing runs, because of concerns they would breach international law.
The US is putting together contingency plans for a direct attack on Iran, with long-range bombing and refuelling aircraft sent to the Middle East in recent days. It is the largest US military build-up in the region since 2003, when the country went to war in Iraq.
We ought to remove all of our military assets from Britain and leave them twisting in the wind. Allies act like allies. If you aren’t going to act like an ally, then piss off.
