Anglo-American Alliance Faces Test – UK Media: Israel Launches Second Phase of Strike Against Iran, the US Did Not Share Any Details of the Plan to Strike Iran with the UK in Advance
Reuters quoted two Israeli military operation insiders who reported that the second phase of the strike against Iran has already begun, targeting underground fortresses containing ballistic missiles.
Reuters reported: "Israel's war against Iran has entered the second phase, in which Israeli fighter jets will attack underground ballistic missile storage facilities."
According to The Guardian, citing sources, the US did not share any details of the plan to strike Iran with the UK in advance.
The source said: "The US did not share precise operational intelligence or specific timing of the joint strike with Israel against Iran with the UK."
It is understood that this decision was made after London initially did not allow the US to use British military bases for the operation, and information about the US being allowed to use the British bases was finally announced only after the attack began.
A government source said that the UK only knew the attack was about to begin but did not know the exact time.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said he was "dissatisfied" with the UK on issues of military cooperation, saying that London "took too long" to allow the use of its bases.
Previously, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that the UK military did not participate in the US strike against Iran, but provided bases, shared intelligence, and participated in defense operations.
