Trump administration seeks continued access to UK bases for potential strikes on Iran
RT (Russia Today)LO·US · GB · IR·2 days ago
Iran's Foreign Ministry has formally condemned the UK for permitting the US to utilize British military facilities for operations against Iranian interests. The statement characterizes this logistical support as a violation of the UN Charter, marking a rhetorical escalation in bilateral tensions between Tehran and London.
The US-Iran conflict has escalated significantly, marked by the confirmed closure of the Strait of Hormuz and direct military engagements, including Iranian missile and drone attacks on Kuwait. This has triggered a global oil price surge and increased inflationary expectations. The UN Secretary-General has warned against a military resolution, emphasizing the need for diplomatic intervention.
