UK approves US use of British bases as Trump considers 'winding down' war in Iran | BBC News

The UK has agreed to allow the US to use British bases to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump said the UK "should have acted a lot faster", while Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Sir Keir was "putting British lives in danger”.

Trump also said the US is considering “winding down” operations against Iran, but that other nations must guard the Strait of Hormuz - a vital shipping lane for oil.
