Any US operation from a base in the UK is considered on a case by case basis, and this includes the legal basis for any proposed activity. Though it would be inappropriate to comment on the specifics of operations, use of a base in the UK is permitted based on any proposed activity being in accordance with UK law and the UK's interpretation of relevant international law.
