Iran Warns UK Bases Used by US Could Become Legitimate Targets Amid Rising Tensions
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that any British military bases used by the US to launch attacks against Iran, including RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia, will be considered legitimate targets. Tehran condemned the UK's support for US operations as a violation of international law and the UN Charter. The UK government responded by affirming its readiness to defend its territory. The situation reflects escalating tensions as US military tactics shift from naval strikes to bomber operations involving UK bases.
