Iran warns UK over allowing US-Israeli strikes from British bases
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer that permitting UK bases for US-Israeli strikes on Iran endangers British lives. Araghchi accused Starmer of dragging the UK into aggression against Iran, stating the British public overwhelmingly opposes involvement. The warning follows reports the UK granted US access to British military installations for operations in the Strait of Hormuz after US criticism of NATO allies. Araghchi vowed Iran will exercise its right to self-defence.
