Iranian missile and drone strikes occurred yesterday near British military personnel stationed at a US base in Bahrain. Around 300 UK personnel were located only 200 metres (656 feet) away from these impacts. This incident shows British forces are part of a US-commanded conflict in the Middle East, involved in protecting civilian locations and military infrastructure.
