Iran issues horror threat to attack UK and chilling warning to Royal Family

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a threatening statement toward the British Royal Family and UK military bases, claiming they are 'legitimate targets' due to their support for U.S. operations against Iran. The warning comes after U.S. bombers, including B1 bombers, launched attacks from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which has been used by the U.S. Air Force since March under Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s authorization for 'defensive' strikes. The IRGC accused the British monarchy of being responsible for regional instability, including historical actions like supporting occupations and authoritarian regimes. The statement follows increased tensions in the Middle East after the collapse of a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the U.S., with ongoing U.S. airstrikes and Iranian retaliation.

Iran has threatened to target the UK's RAF Fairford airbase, calling it a 'legitimate target' after the US used it to launch a B1 bomber raid against Iranian military sites. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) accused Britain of supporting US aggression and criticized the UK government for historical actions against Muslim nations. The strike, part of Operation Epic Fury, targeted IRGC assets including missile bases and command centers. The B1 bomber, based at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, marked the first such mission from the UK since Prime Minister Andy Burnham took office. Burnham reportedly continued former Prime Minister Keir Starmer's policy of allowing US military use of UK bases for defensive operations.
