Burnham Lets Trump Use British Bases for Illegal War on Iran

The article reports that Andy Burnham, the new UK Prime Minister, has allowed US President Donald Trump to use British military bases for attacks on Iran, which critics argue are unlawful and targeting civilians. Burnham reportedly approved this decision based on information provided before he took office, enabling the US to conduct bombing operations from locations such as Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford. The article highlights the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, noting that over 3,468 people, including children and teachers, have been killed in attacks since February. It also mentions a recent US strike on a water desalination plant in Iran, leaving thousands without access to clean water. Critics, including MPs and academics, condemn Burnham's actions as supporting an illegal and imperialist foreign policy, accusing him of continuing policies similar to those of previous governments.
