JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had put the lives of his citizens at risk by allowing British bases to be used for aggression against Iran.

"Most British people do not want to be involved in the Israel-US war of choice against Iran. By ignoring his own people, Starmer is endangering the lives of British citizens by allowing British bases to be used for aggression against Iran. Iran will use its right to defend itself," Araghchi wrote on X as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Saturday, March 21.

The statement came after the British government on Friday agreed to the use of British bases by the US for attacks on Iranian missile sites.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched attacks on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, which caused damage and civilian casualties, as well as killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran responded by attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
