WRITE TO YOUR MP: No UK weapons or bases used for war on Iran
Posted: 12th March 2026
UK-made weapons were reportedly used in the recent deadly American Tomahawk missile attacks on Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ primary school in Minab, Iran. At least 180 were killed, most being school children as they attended their morning classes. Components of the Tomahawk missile are produced by Raytheon’s Glenrothes factory in Scotland. Take action now and email your MP to oppose the use of UK-produced weapons in the US-Israeli war on Iran.
No matter how much our government tries to frame British involvement in the US-Israeli war on Iran as “defensive”, people across the country are seeing through this messaging for what it is: a war-mongering cover for the UK’s alignment with American foreign policy. Over 50 000 people took to the streets of London over the weekend to say no to the US-Israeli war on Iran. Take action now and write to your MP to oppose all British involvement in this war.
F-35 Fighter Jets are playing a critical role in the US-Israeli war on Iran. The British arms industry plays a very significant role in the F-35 Fighter Jet Programme. Fifteen percent of every F-35 is produced in the UK. Out of all the countries involved in F-35 production outside of the US, the UK is by far the most important, being the only “level 1 partner”. Take action now to demand the UK withdraw from this programme of death and destruction.
F-35 fighter jet components are produced across the country. From Edinburgh all the way to Brighton – BAE Systems, Leonardo, L3 Harris, Rolls-Royce and Mission Systems Wimborne are all involved in this deadly production. Our government is further implicatedin the US-Israeli war on Iran through the use of British bases, jets, helicopters and the recent deployment of a warship.
