Putting British Lives In Danger: Iran Warns UK Over US Access To Its Military Ba by Pakute(op): 9:19pm On Mar 22
• Iran warns British lives put in danger after Starmer says US can use military bases

A top Iranian official has warned that British lives have been put "in danger" after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer gave the United States permission to strike Iranian missile sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz from UK bases.

UK ministers agreed to the move on Friday, March 20 after previously limiting the US to only using the bases to hit missile sites targeting British interests in the region.

Iran has targeted a joint US-UK military base with ballistic missiles shortly after the UK's decision, according to reports.

The Middle East has been in conflict for three weeks after the US and Israel carried out joint strikes several key Iranian sites on February 28. Iran retaliated by striking sites across the Middle East.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said "Iran will exercise its right to self-defence."

He said in a post on X: “Vast majority of the British People do not want any part in the Israel-US war of choice on Iran."

"Ignoring his own People, Mr Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing UK bases to be used for aggression against Iran. Iran will exercise its right to self-defence."


Early on Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, but neither of the missiles hit the base.

Mr Trump said on Friday that the UK “should have acted a lot faster” in giving the US permission to use its bases.

Sir Keir Starmer had previously granted the US permission only for “defensive” action against Iranian missile sites from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Mr Trump said: “It’s been a very late response from the UK."

“I’m surprised because the relationship is so good, but this has never happened before."
“They were really pretty much our first ally, all over the world.”


Referring to Diego Garcia, he said: “They didn’t want us to use the island, the so-called island, which for some reason they gave up rights to it.

“I was a little surprised in the UK, to be honest. They should have acted a lot faster.”


Posting on his Truth Social platform on Friday evening, Mr Trump said the Strait of Hormuz “will have to be guarded and policed” by “other Nations who use it – The United States does not!”

“If asked, we will help these countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated,” he said, adding: “Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them.

“We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran.”

USA is so clueless right now, I'm sure they're regretting and hitting their heads on the Wall for allowing Israel lure them to this war, but shame won't allow them back down

This Iran get problem ooo.
They are willing to fight the world
Re: Putting British Lives In Danger: Iran Warns UK Over US Access To Its Military Ba by epainos:
Iran has lost this war because the US has finally lured the UK to join them. France is in the game too and so Germany too. NATO is joining.

The US is turning Iran to Iraq and Afghanistan. The end game is to either cause a civil war in Iran or something like hunger to destroy Iran. Iran is about to be removed from the Russia, N.Korea, China unity. One down...and the next will be to remove N.Korea too. The game is that Koreans will be one again under the leadership of the South Korean capitalism. I see these two issues occurring in my lifetime.

The only way Iran will not draw the British to this battle is to stop blocking oil vessels. That's it. This is the excuse the British is entering this war. Mark my words, France and Germany will join too the moment Iran attack the UK and NATO will enter Iran. That's the end.

If Iran doesn't attack the UK despite the Americans using their military bases, then, the war will be strictly between the Israel and Iran. The US will have to stop because the only reason to justify attacking Iran is to allow free movement of oil. Then, it will be Iran Vs Israel which Israel has been praying to happen for about 30 years. Lol. It will then be who has more weapons and intelliengence? Can the US supply Israel more weapons than what Russia, China and N.korea will supply Iran?

But as far as I know, Israel has the better intelligence so that Iranians brains will be removed one by one till they have no brain to win the war.

Either way, Iran is going to lose this war. But the real issue here is that will this war lead to a civil war or hunger in Iran so that Iran is totally removed from the picture permanently? This is the real goal of the Israelis and Americans. They will surely find every means to turn Iran to the powerless Iraq. Iran will be a shadow of itself in 5 years from today. This is the game. Mark my word. But Can this war lead to a civil war in Iran? This is the ultimate question.

If you understood the meaning of the word " leverage" you wouldn't have written this trash. What leverage does USA have to create a change of heart with the Iranians? None! The Iranians have already shown their leverage of using the strait of Hormuz to create world power crisis...imagine Iran bombing all the energy ships clustered at the strait? What will USA do? Kill more Iranian generals? Throw more missiles at civilians?

Oga getat. How many kids have been killed and kidnapped in Nigeria. Abi Nigeria children are not children enough?

As for Iran, war that started as US/Isreal v Iran is fast become "the world v Iran.

This goes to show the poor relation management and the terroristic character of Iran as an entity.

You are naive, you don't know what you are saying.

Look, USA is being merciful to Iran. But Iran is pushing them to the wall.

We really have dumb youth in Nigeria. All the strike they have been striking the gulf nations is because they allowed US and Israel to use their nation to hit them and you think they should spare any country given its base to hit them? Mind you Russia is supporting Iran with intelligence and Russia already have beef with Europe, try to understand. We should try and use our senses, not just hitting foolishly
