Britain escalates military support in the Gulf amid Iran tensions
Just read about the UK stepping up its military role in the Gulf. RAF Typhoons have shot down Iranian drones near Cyprus and Qatar, and the UK is now allowing U.S. forces to use its bases for strikes-though Britain says it's purely defensive for now. The government is reinforcing bases with extra radar and personnel, and there are F-35s ready if needed. With around 300,000 British citizens in the region, evacuation plans are in place, and the Royal Navy has a Type-45 destroyer on high alert. Leaders are calling for diplomacy to prevent escalation, but the situation remains tense as Gulf countries seek support against what they call Iran's reckless attacks.
