Iran warns UK that providing US access to British bases is ‘aggression’ The Iranian foreign ministry says it told the UK that allowing the US to use British military bases will be treated as “participation in aggression”. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told his British counterpart Yvette Cooper during a phone call that UK assistance to the US would be an “escalation of the situation”. In a statement posted on his Telegram channel, Araghchi criticised the “negative and biased approach of the United Kingdom and some European countries towards this blatant aggression, which violated international law”.
