Iran issues horror threat to attack UK and chilling warning to Royal Family The Revolutionary Guard Corps has said RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire was being used by the US Air Force to flying bombing missions against Iran using B1 bombers The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has said the UK is in the firing line after US bombers launched attacks from an RAF base in Gloucestershire. In a press release today the IRGC threatened Britain saying "any base used to invade Iranian territory is our legitimate target.” It added: "We warn the British monarchy, which is the main cause of the misfortunes of the people of our region and has a dark record of dividing Islamic countries, widespread massacres in these countries, imposing authoritarian governments, and worst of all, organizing and leading the occupation of Palestine and the creation of the Israeli Nakba, and has participated most in the recent aggressions of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, not to burden its case any further." RAF Fairford has been used by the US Air Force since March, when Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer authorised its use for 'defensive' strikes. Its involvement in the Iran conflict has proved contentious, with a peaceful anti-war demonstrations held there in opposition to the US bombing raids. The latest statement from the IRGC, titled: 'Warning to the British monarchy' came as violence has spiralled in the Middle East following the collapse of the ceasefire deal between Iran and the US. The Iranian military group also warned "this time we will not allow America to replace its oil and ammunition reserves with deceptive ceasefires and then resume attacks," following overnight strikes by the US. The Houthis, an armed Islamist group aligned with Iran, struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea last night after announcing a blockade of the Bab al Mandeb Strait on Tuesday.
