Iran: Armed Conflict

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the answer of 3 June 2026 to Question 3863, what is meant by permissions to utilise UK military bases being considered on a case-by-case basis; and whether each individual strike requires separate authorisation.

Answer

For operational security reasons, we do not offer comment or information relating to foreign nations' military operations, including the processes for providing them with host nation authorisation. All UK support to allies for operational purposes considers the legal basis and policy rational for any proposed activity.
