Published Updated

An IRGC spokesman has told Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB that “any country, whether the UK, the Gulf Coast countries, or others” would become a “legitimate target” if they support the US in its attacks on Iran, Al Jazeera reports.

The spokesperson, who wasn’t named, highlighted the role of the UK, saying that American B-1 bombers used British airports to carry out recent attacks.

“If they cooperate [with the US], they will be our definite and legitimate target,” the spokesperson said.
