Update - BBC understands Iran DID try and hit Diego Garcia, but in last few days, not yesterday - so before govt announced decision to let US use UK bases to protect Straits of Hormuz
No debate and no vote in Parliament before entering another illegal war in the Middle East for regime change. And no Labour MPs with the courage of Robin Cook to speak out and resign from the Labour Cabinet. We may well see another 30,000 join the Green Party

19 year old Iranian wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi was just publicly executed for protesting against the Islamic Regime. So, to all liberal Westerners: Watch and learn. This is what it’s like to ACTUALLY live in a nation with no free speech.
🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could. Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km. This strike attempt doubles that number overnight. The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks. Look at the map. A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe. Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep. Source: @sentdefender WSJ
