Iran: Military Bases

Asked by Richard BurgonLabourMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 10 March 2026UIN 118235

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Government will publish a list of any civilian deaths that result from US military strikes that have used UK military bases following the Prime Minister’s announcement on 1 March.

Answered by Al Carns

The agreement allowing the US to use UK miliary bases is for specific and limited defensive action against missile facilities in Iran which were involved in launching strikes at regional allies. For operational security reasons, we do not offer comment or information relating to foreign nations' military operations.
