Video from the protest at RAF/USAF Fairford UK bomber base

Hundreds of anti-war activists gathered outside RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on Saturday, protesting the use of the base by US forces for military operations linked to Iran.

Demonstrators accused the UK government of enabling foreign military action from British soil and waved Palestinian and Iranian flags while surrounding the perimeter fence.

Organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Stop the War Coalition, protesters called for an end to US bomber operations and greater diplomatic engagement in the Middle East. 

UK Prime Minister Starmer says only 'defensive' operations can happen from British bases. But all the operations from Fairford are offensive in nature. 

Fairford is a base where the US hosts and deploys USAF B-1 and B-52 bombers for Iran attacks.
