London Signals Readiness to Strike Iranian Missile Sites
The UK has expanded its defensive posture in the Middle East, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy suggesting that British aircraft could lawfully strike Iranian missile sites in self-defense. The move comes as the conflict in the region continues to escalate, with the UK announcing the deployment of additional RAF Typhoon fighters and Wildcat helicopters to Qatar. The UK has also seen success in intercepting Iranian drones, with RAF F-35Bs shooting down drones over Jordan. The shift in posture was first reported by AeroTime.
