The United States and its allies, including Britain, Australia, Canada, France and Germany, have warned Iran against hostile acts after a major scare at a UK airbase was deemed almost certainly directed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, AFP reports.

“Any attempt by Iran to threaten, silence, intimidate, harass, harm, or coerce people on our territories through proxies or any other means is unacceptable,” says a joint statement by 29 parties, published by the US State Department.
