Not sure what the suprise is here as the UK is allowing the US to bomb them from the UK bases.

I mean, is RAF Fairford not a legitimate target?
It has been used in offensive operations against Iran.
Warfare is not a one way street.

They are right, it Is a legitimate target for them.
Not that they would ever hit it. That would be a wet dream for the US since it would drag the whole of Nato into this.

Why is Iran talking like this isn’t exactly the same policy as before
DarthKrataa on
This isn’t exactly new they where striking or trying to strike RAF bases when this shit show all started.

Tell the US to fuck off and use they’re own bases it’s the US who started this for no reason and the uk shouldn’t be involved not our problem

Iran has regarded us as an enemy since their revolution, so this is just them stating the obvious.
painful_butterflies on
Absolutely kills me that the media is saying the U.S. has launched a “defensive strike mission” from a UK airbase.
It’s not defensive if you’re the one attacking!

two British men standing in the rubble of their homes in London during the blitz. One turns to the other and says “Can we blame them?”

They can consider it a target as much as they want. Can’t see them making it all the way into Oxford before being intercepted.

They literally attacked one of our bases already?
That was before US were allowed to attack from them. Nothing at all has changed on our end since Starmer.

Hardly news given they already attacked an RAF base in this war.

Countrys financially fucked and infrastructure is failing now the Iranians are knocking at the door. Shitting hell

Friendly reminder that Iran has conducted multiple attacks on the UK before we even gave the US permission for any sort of military action against Iran and has conducted hostile acts against our country before this war even began
– Burned down our embassy in Iran in 2011 for no reason
– 20+ credible attacks targeting the UK by the IRGC terrorist organisation thwarted by our security services
– Missile attacks on the flight school in Qatar where RAF personnel are training with Qatari pilots on Typhoons
– Per Lebanese sources the attack on RAF Cyprus was carried out at the instruction of the IRGC
– Iran today said that attacks on the UK are justified because of our alleged involvement in the Nakba meaning Iran considers our country its enemy for events which not only predate this war but predate when most of us were even born

We’ve always been a fucking target by Iran… Them making it out like it’s a new thing is just dumb.
North Korea still hates us…
audigex on
No it wouldn’t
1. We aren’t obliged to invoke article 5 anyway
2. That base is clearly and openly being used for offensive action against Iran, we can’t reasonably claim self defence
We wouldn’t be daft enough to drag our friends into a war the US started, rest of NATO would

If Russia used Iranian bases to launch attacks at us would we just sit quietly and watch?
BotlikeBehaviour on
Of course we’re a fair target if we’re a launching platform for attacks against them.
Gwyllithar on
whether we like it or not, burnham has allowed trump to use our bases to directly strike Iranian targets, that makes UK military bases and assets valid targets for Iranian reprisals. thats how conflicts work.
you dont get to allow strikes on another country then go “lol you cant shoot back”…..

If Iran attacks a UK base surely that just gets NATO involved?

Has anything changed then? Is Burnham’s policy different to that of Starmer?
Proximitypvpisbae on
Not sure Iran could withstand uk and us bombing together if they did something so stupid
Used-Let7134 on
Time to evict the us. They’re going to drag us into something bigger
QuirkyWish3081 on
Well if they bomb us, then that’s us joining the war innit really. Maybe even NATO. Probably not a great strategic move Iran.
redandbluebadness on
oh great, good job everyone.
Just tell the yanks to fuck off out of it
sylbug on
That’s what happens when you participate in a war. Your military assets become legitimate targets.

Yeah because instead of saying no to trump like starmer did, this new PM is up his arse.
