Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the agreement allowing the United States to use UK military bases for strikes on Iranian missile sites includes any limits on the types of operations that may be conducted from those bases.

Permissions to utilise UK military bases by foreign nations are considered on a case-by-case basis. All UK support to allies for operational purposes considers the legal basis and policy rationale for any proposed activity.

The agreement allowing the US to use UK miliary bases is for specific and limited defensive action against missile facilities in Iran which are involved in launching strikes at regional allies.
