> In the current Iranian war the UK is only allowing it's bases to launch defensive missions, i.e. strike offensive capability

If Iran struck all of the UK's missile factories and military bases, would it be considered a defensive or offensive action?

Context matters. Did the UK start a war with Iran? Or did the UK decide to hit surrounding countries (France, Norway, Netherlands, etc.) to destabilise the region and target an Iranian airbase in Spain?

I would assume there's a bunch of countries around Iran that appreciate UK's help in intercepting missiles.

I would assume there's a bunch of countries around Iran that don't appreciate the US starting a war of choice.
