Iran has issued a warning to the UK, France and US amid its ongoing conflict with Israel. Tehran said it will hit ships and bases from all three countries if they get involved. Iran’s state-run Fars news agency reports that an unnamed official vowed the strikes on Israel “will continue” and Iran will target US bases in the area.
The US operates bases in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. It also maintains a military presence in countries including Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Britain’s armed forces are involved in three major military operations in the Middle East. Operation Kipion is a long-standing maritime security mission in the Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean.
The UK has also contributed to a global campaign against Daesh in Iraq and Syria since 2014. British forces are part of a US-led coalition supporting freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
