    I thought the order of events was, Britain said no to the US, Iran struck shared US UK base, Britain said go on then to the US as there’s now the excuse what it’s defensive.

      Afaik there was a drone launched “in the direction of” Cyprus that never actually hit the island or the UK base. That was the UK’s excuse to help the US, and it was a whole nothingburger.

      You’re correct, there’s so much came after the first strike i keep having everything mixed up. The respond came after the strike on US/UK base 4000km away from iran, where they claim they’re incapable of shooting that far. But it also came after UK insist that they won’t be dragged into this war, yet they allow the use of their base to strike iran site used for the blockage. I don’t support Iran, i think the government can go eat shit, but UK respond is basically involving themselves with the war, because surely Iran will then attack that base used by US as retaliation.
