The new British Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has allowed the United States to continue using two UK air bases—Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago—for attacks on Iran and other military operations. In response, Iranian authorities have called this decision an act of aggression and warned the UK that they will bear responsibility for the consequences. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the decision, stating that any involvement in US military actions against Iran would constitute complicity in acts of aggression and war crimes. The UK responded by reaffirming its readiness to defend itself against any attacks, emphasizing its commitment to protecting national interests and allies while adhering to international law.
