After Iran announced that it considers British bases used by the US as “legitimate targets,” the British government declared that it is ready to defend itself 24 hours a day.
“Elchi” reports that although Great Britain has allowed the US to conduct “defensive” operations from its bases where US personnel and aircraft are stationed, it has refused to cooperate in direct offensive operations against Iran.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Great Britain is a “partner” in the US war, and the Revolutionary Guard Corps declared that any country providing military support to the US will “bear the consequences and responsibility.” These statements came as the US began its 13th consecutive night of airstrikes against targets in Iran.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the British government and former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for not providing sufficient support for the war, while the Iranian side has tried to portray Great Britain as part of the military operation.
