Poll finds out what Brits really think about Trump's decision to go to war with Iran

A bombshell poll has revealed exactly what Brits think about the United States' strikes on Iran, and it's not looking good for Donald Trump.

The snap poll by YouGov found that nearly half (49 percent) of Brits are against the US president's attack on the Middle Eastern state, with 28 percent of people in favour of the move.

Half of Brits also opposed allowing the US to use RAF bases to launch attacks on Iran, even if bombings were limited to missile sites, with just over a third in support.

The poll, which quizzed 4,132 adults in the UK, found that 45 percent of Brits would prefer the government to neither praise or condemn the US its attacks on Iran, despite the criticism received from Trump.

It comes after Keir Starmer refused initial requests for the UK's RAF bases to be used in the initial strikes against Iran, however the prime minister did later allow American military to use the bases to target Iran's missile launchers and stores.

Shortly after the decision, Iran launched a drone strike on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, resulting in minor damage and no injuries, prompting the government to temporarily evacuate the base.

Criticising Starmer's lack of cooperation, Trump told the Sun: "He has not been helpful. I never thought I’d see that. I never thought I’d see that from the UK. We love the UK.

"This was the most solid relationship of all. And now we have very strong relationships with other countries in Europe."

He added: "It’s a different world, actually. It’s just a much different kind of relationship that we’ve had with your country before. It’s very sad to see that the relationship is obviously not what it was."

The PM previously said the UK 'does not believe in regime change from the strikes,' adding that Britain had learned its lessons from the Iraq war, and insisting he would not commit the UK's Armed Forces into military action without clear plans that are legally sound.

"This Government does not believe in regime change from the skies. The lessons of history have taught us that it is important when we make decisions like this that we establish there is a lawful basis for what the United Kingdom is doing," he told the Commons on Monday, 2 March.

"That is one of the lessons from Iraq - that there is a viable thought-through plan with an objective that can be achieved."
