Further igniting an already bloody war over Iran ‘s nuclear programme, country officials have issued a new threat to the West amid the ongoing conflict. Iranian officials are now threatening American, British, and French military bases and other if the West continues to help defend Israel.
The heightening conflict comes as the United States struggles to broker any such peace deals throughout the Middle East and comes amid the ongoing war in Gaza which Israel is also involved in. Trump, on his part, has already vowed that America will help protest Israel in the face of Iranian retaliation.
UK officials, however, have taken a much different stance. According to reports, the UK military has not at least as of publication provided any military assistance as Prime Minister Kier Starmer seeks a road to de-escalation in the region.
Iran ‘s role in the conflict
Officials in Tehran have long sought to weaken Israel ‘s defense systems. Many of the missiles and other projectiles fired at Israel have all been downed before actually reaching their intended target. A US diplomat McCoy Pitt warned on Saturday of dire consequences if any American bases; citizens, or others are targeted or hurt in any attacks or retaliations by Iran.
So far Iran ‘s strikes have killed three people and wounded dozens more. The deaths have sparked a war of words among the warring nations as Israel has claimed ‘Tehran will burn’ if it keeps firing missilwes at Israel.
