A proxy war seems about to take place on the border of Iraq and Iran, as UK troops have been moved to that area, at the request of the Americans.
350 members of the UK armed forces have been moved from Basra (we guess from the duty free shop at the airport, since that's where they were moved to just a little while ago), after the US warned that Iran was backing conflict by factions over the border in Iraq.
This story has been receiving limited coverage in the UK, mostly in The Independent newspaper.
Tell The Troops The Truthiness ; If the Americans told UK forces to jump off a cliff, would they do it?
