Iranian Lawmaker Warns UK Over US Base Access

Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi has issued a direct warning to the UK over its decision to allow the US to use British military bases, including Diego Garcia, for strikes on Iran. Azizi, who heads the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, made the statement on X on July 23. He said Britain's colonial influence was fading and warned that the UK would lose Diego Garcia if it continued to support the US. The move has further raised tensions between Tehran and London. The UK has not commented on the matter. Azizi's warning comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the US. The US has been conducting airstrikes on Iran in recent weeks, and Iran has responded with its own missile strikes. The situation remains volatile, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The UK's decision to allow the US to use its military bases has been met with criticism from some quarters, with some arguing that it is a breach of international law. However, the UK has maintained that it is within its rights to allow the US to use its bases. The situation is likely to continue to escalate in the coming days, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The US has not commented on the matter, but it is likely that it will continue to use the UK's military bases for its strikes on Iran. The situation is a complex one, with multiple parties involved and competing interests at play. However, one thing is clear: the situation is volatile and is likely to continue to escalate in the coming days.
