It doesn't look like that's why those troops are being send there right now though. These troops are for the Gulf allies and Cyprus.
You are angry about the British role in the Iran war and I feel you, but I'm just talking about why these troops are going there.
I'm not angry. I'm pointing out the simple fact that the reason those bases are being attacked by Iran is because they're used to wage a war of aggression against Iran. I'm just trying to explain to you why those troops are active participants in this war. I don't know why it's so difficult for you to understand that frankly.
It's just that you're talking about a different thing to me. You're explaining things that weren't under question and don't really relate to what I said. I was solely talking about why these troops were being sent there right now.
I appreciate the enthusiasm but it's just a bit off this topic and more a general discussion about the war.
And I was solely explaining how that makes them part of the war.
