“Brit base blitzed by Iran”, is the Sun’s headline alongside a photo of smoke rising from the scene in Erbil in Iraq. According to the Times, “a swarm” of 20 missiles and kamikaze drones was fired at the base. Specialist British soldiers reportedly used surface-to-air missiles to destroy two of the Iranian drones, while others were intercepted by the Americans. The Defence Secretary, John Healey, is quoted in a number of papers, including the Guardian, saying the “hidden hand” of Russian President Vladimir Putin is behind some of the Iranian tactics.
