Iran ambassador raises threat of strikes on British bases
Tehran said 400 kg of highly enriched uranium remains intact and warned that British bases used in the strikes could face retaliation.
- Iranian ambassador to London Seyed Ali Mousavi warned Tuesday that British military bases used by United States forces, including RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia, could be legitimate targets.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer recently granted the United States permission to use RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia for "defensive strikes," a decision Iranian officials argue changes their status in the conflict.
- Mousavi stated Iran is considering all options as a matter of self-defence, declaring that "The military sections of our system will decide appropriately" regarding responses to British involvement.
- Central to the tension is the fate of 400kg of highly enriched uranium, which the International Atomic Energy Agency believes remains intact despite President Trump claiming it was destroyed.
- Although Trump claimed on Monday to be in "serious discussion" with Tehran, Iranian officials cite a history of broken dialogue, noting they were attacked six months after previous diplomatic attempts.
