    The strikes are on American bases used to attack Iran, they aren’t on the gulf countries themselves, no matter how you or the leaders try to twist it.

    The only danger to civilians has come directly from falling debris from not letting the missiles hit their intended targets. The US/UK/gulf militaries are not defending civilians, they are protecting American bases.

    Meanwhile Israel directly bombed an elementary school on a school day in Iran and killed over 50 children.

    The UK should condemn Israel, not Iran for defending itself after a surprise attack in the middle of peace talks, or “preemptive” as they like to call it.

        Does that explain the civilian who died in Dubai?

        Yes, quite literally. No civilians were targeted in the gulf, only American military.

        "The UAE defense ministry said most of the missiles and drones were intercepted but at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport officials said at least one person was killed and seven wounded in an “incident.”

        Earlier, falling debris killed a Pakistani civilian in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates’ capital, officials said."

        The only threat to civilians is the falling debris from intercepting the missiles. We are “collateral damage” they are happy to incur to install a US puppet in Iran, the priority is to defend the war machine.

        Pretty sure they already did

        This is the second time in this thread you go just assert a falsehood with your guess and are satisfied with that, anything to defend and justify the war.

        No, they didn’t condemn Israel, they only condemned Iran in this war that was forced upon them. And worse, now Britain to let US use bases to strike Iran.

        Congrats, continue pushing for the slaughter of Iranians while insisting you care about civilians.
