UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham approved use of British military bases for US operations against Iran, classifying strikes as "defensive" rather than active warfare. The decision continues policy established by predecessor Keir Starmer amid escalating US-Iran tensions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you operate supply chains, logistics, or services through UK bases or allied infrastructure in the Middle East, your operational risk just jumped. A change in UK policy on active operations can trigger new insurance, compliance, and routing requirements by end of week.
