Britain's new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has approved continued U.S. access to key British military bases for operations that the U.K. government describes as defensive amid escalating tensions with Iran. The decision maintains the previous policy, allowing facilities including Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford to support U.S. logistics and long-range operations. Downing Street says the move is intended to strengthen collective self-defence, protect regional allies and safeguard vital shipping routes, while stressing Britain is not joining offensive combat operations. The announcement comes as U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets continue across the region. <br /> <br />#UK #AndyBurnham #Trump #Iran #USIran #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #USMilitary #RAF #DiegoGarcia #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #WorldNews #Military #LatestNews<br /><br />~PR.498~GR.508~HT.178~VG.HM~
