‘Act of aggression against Iran’: Araghchi warns UK over US access to British military bases
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband that allowing US strikes from British bases is an 'act of aggression' and gives Iran the right to self-defense under international law.
Araghchi called cooperation with the US, including under defence agreements, 'unacceptable' and urged Britain to reassess its stance, citing actions against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham approved continued US military base access for operations targeting Iran, a policy inherited from predecessor Keir Starmer.
Burnham reaffirmed UK commitment to maritime security efforts in the Strait of Hormuz during a call with US President Donald Trump.
Miliband stated the UK 'is not part of the war with Iran' and supports diplomacy to resolve disputes.
