UK Approves US B-one Bombers in Iran Strikes

0:00On March 11, 3 USB-1 Lancer Bombers have landed back at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire after carrying out the first attacks on Iran with full UK approval. This marks a big policy change under Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The supersonic jets wrapped up a 15-hour mission around 8.30 a.m., fresh from what U.S. officials called the most intense bombing night yet, in the conflict. The shift came after an Iranian drone hit a British base on Cyprus back on March 1. Before that, the UK had blocked U.S. use of Fairford and Diego Garcia over worries about illegal regime change aims. Now, the base's long runway makes a key for U.S. long-range bombers cutting down flight times from America. UK defense leaders stressed their role, stays defensive, with jets only downing incoming missiles and drones to protect bases and allies. As strong as pushback, like from opposition figures calling it half measures, still, officials

1:00say it fits public support and Keir's British forces out of direct offense. U.S. strikes have hammered Iranian missile sites, launch pads, and even warships, with footage showing warheads blowing up underground. Commanders report Iran's firepower is fading fast, including 16 mine-laying ships and the Shred of Hormuz. Even so, American teams admit they're hunting for hidden launchers while Iran holds back reserves for big targets later. With details still classified, expect more updates as the operation presses on.
