Britain's main bases in the region useful for US defensive ops vs Iranian missiles include:
- RAF Akrotiri (Cyprus): Primary airbase for Typhoon jets, recon & intercepts (missiles recently fired toward it).
- UK Naval Support Facility (Bahrain): Gulf naval ops, close to recent strikes on UK personnel.
- Al Udeid (Qatar): RAF HQ & Typhoon deployments for air patrols (recently downed Iranian drones).
- Al Minhad (UAE) & Duqm (Oman): Air/naval logistics support.
These allow fighter intercepts, refueling & basing for US assets.
