UK Bases Now Targeted by Iran | Global News

Iran has declared UK military bases hosting US forces as legitimate targets, escalating tensions after weeks of US strikes. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps warns any nation aiding the US will face consequences, while the UK insists it remains committed to international law and national defense, operating alongside NATO. The UK’s continued support for US operations — including bases like RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia — stems from March’s authorization to target Iranian infrastructure threatening Gulf nations. Past incidents, like Iran’s failed missile attack on Diego Garcia, underscore the volatile backdrop. Despite claims of UK-targeting missiles, analysts doubt their reliability. The UK government reaffirms its stance: defending its people and allies without seeking escalation, relying on a layered defense system to ensure security.
