British bases to aid Iran attack

Newsnight

Available for over a year

Tonight the UK agrees to let the US use British bases to strike Iranian sites responsible for closing the Strait of Hormuz. Does the UK risk being drawn into much deeper involvement in the Iran War? And a Reform UK MP says mass prayer events for religions such as Islam assert the domination of another culture over British Christian traditions. We'll ask a leading bishop if he agrees. With Nick Watt
