The British military has stated it is ready to defend the country following a threat from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The warning, issued on Thursday, came after the IRGC stated that the United States had flown bombing missions against Iran from the Royal Air Force base in Fairford, southwest England.
In its statement, the IRGC declared that any military base used to launch attacks against Iran would be considered a legitimate target. In response, Britain affirmed that its armed forces remain prepared to protect the nation from any potential attacks resulting from the deployment and use of US bombers from UK soil.
