BBC given access to Iraq base as UK-US forces work side by side amid Iran conflict
The BBC has been given access to a military base in Iraq where UK and US forces continue to work together during the Iran conflict. Prior to the US-announced ceasefire, up to 28 drones were fired at the base daily. An RAF air specialist described the experience as 'bloody difficult' with 'weapons of destruction going off around you.' Armed Forces Minister Al Carns said British forces have helped move Americans out of harm's way and vice versa, emphasising the relationship remains strong despite sharp differences over the Iran war that have strained transatlantic relations.
