Poll: Most Brits Oppose US Using UK Military Bases for Attacks on Iran
Almost half, 49%, of people oppose the UK's decision to allow Washington to use British airbases specifically to launch attacks against missile bases in Iran, according to a poll conducted by YouGov on Thursday.

Of those, 28% said they strongly opposed, while 21% said they somewhat oppose.

Meanwhile, 35% of British people said they supported the decision to allow the US to use UK bases, with 15% saying they strongly supported and 20% saying they somewhat supported the decision.

A total of 16% of people surveyed said they did not know.

The UK government has faced criticism over its role in the US-Iran war following reports suggesting that US forces are actively using the UK's Royal Air Force Fairford base.
