Britain's new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has approved America's use of British military bases to carry out what Britain calls defensive attacks against Iran; even though US President Trump is stepping up military action against Iraq, Burnham has continued the policy of former Prime Minister Stammer. People familiar with the matter said that Stammer hosted a meeting of senior ministers and officials last Friday to discuss Britain's policy position after the US resumed action earlier this month. The above sources said that the participating ministers decided to continue the current policy, which allows US military aircraft to use the base in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and Fairford Royal Air Force Base in Gloucestershire, England, to deal with Iranian missile threats and attack relevant sites used to target the Strait of Hormuz.
