London, United Kingdom. Iran’s Ambassador to London, Seyed Ali Mousavi, warned the United Kingdom to “be very careful” about potential direct involvement in the ongoing war. He said Tehran maintains its “right to self-defense” if the UK becomes directly engaged in the U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran.


Warning tied to UK base access for U.S. operations

The warning comes after the United Kingdom granted the United States permission to use British bases for military operations. British ministers have described the actions as “defensive strikes” against Iranian facilities, while the UK has not participated directly in the attacks so far.

Tensions rise as Tehran watches for shift in UK role

Mousavi’s comments reflect heightened tensions as Tehran monitors whether London will move from logistical support and base access to active combat participation.


How do you think the UK’s role could change if it continues allowing U.S. use of British bases?
