Britain not ruling out future strikes on Iran missile sites, officials indicate
AI Summary
British officials have indicated that the UK has not ruled out participating in future strikes against Iranian ballistic missile launch sites. US heavy bombers are expected to arrive at UK bases in Diego Garcia and Gloucestershire to potentially attack Iran's underground "missile cities." While the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Dragon is being deployed to Cyprus, its departure has been delayed. Western officials suggest the UK could take part in striking missile depots, emphasizing the uncertainty of the situation. Destroying Iran's missile capabilities is a key goal of the US-Israeli bombing campaign, prompting discussions about potential RAF support beyond providing bases. The urgency stems from concerns about Iran's remaining missile stockpile and the depletion of air defense interceptors in allied Gulf states.
