Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Wednesday condemning the new UK government's decision to allow US military forces to use British bases for strikes on Iran, warning that any party participating in military aggression against Iran will bear full responsibility for the consequences.
Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the UK's decision to allow US forces to use British military bases for strikes on Iran, calling it a clear violation of international law and an aggressive act. The statement, issued Wednesday afternoon, warned that any state participating in aggression against Iran would bear 'full responsibility' for the consequences.
As reported by The Zioneer, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed the continuation of the policy allowing US use of bases, including Diego Garcia and Fairford, for defensive operations against Iranian missile threats. The policy was originally approved by Burnham's predecessor Keir Starmer. Iran's armed forces had previously warned that any territory enabling US strikes would be considered a 'legitimate target,' as reported by The Zioneer on July 8.
Iran has also recently criticized the UK's designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a security threat, calling it 'ridiculous and inciting.' The UK has not yet responded to the latest Iranian statement. The warning is part of escalating rhetoric between Tehran and London amid the broader US-Iran confrontation.
