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.
