The UK has agreed to a US request to use British military bases to strike Iranian missile sites, Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed.
But the UK Prime Minister said the UK "will not join offensive action" in Iran, adding: “We all remember the mistakes of Iraq and we have learned those lessons.”
It comes as Iran continues its assault on the Middle East in revenge attacks for the joint US-Israeli operation yesterday which saw missiles rain down on Tehran.
