Air Force nuclear specialist names four UK towns and cities Iran could attack

Gene Sticco warns Iran may target UK military and intelligence sites with covert or cyber attacks amid escalating US/Israel-Iran conflict, citing four key locations.

  • This past week, Gene Sticco, a former United States Air Force nuclear protection specialist, named four UK locations Iran could target.
  • Over the weekend , US and Israeli strikes on Iran prompted UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to deny using UK bases for attacks but authorize defensive measures to protect allies.
  • The four locations cited are RAF Fairford, HMNB Portsmouth, HMNB Devonport in Plymouth, and GCHQ in Cheltenham; Portsmouth and Devonport are major naval hubs, and three sites lie in the South West.
  • As of March 2, 102,000 British citizens registered in the Middle East, and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper suggested up to 300,000 could be in the Gulf; UK terror threat level will almost certainly be raised while MI5 and counter-terror policing remain stretched.
  • Experts warn Iran is very likely to escalate attacks, likely through cyberattacks or drones, and advise British citizens to stay informed and follow government guidance.
