[UK Authorizes US Military to Use Its Bases for Strikes, Iran: Will Exercise Right to Self-Defense] According to a report by Jinse Finance on March 21, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated on the evening of the 20th local time that the UK has allowed the US to use its military bases to launch military actions against Iran, and Iran will exercise its right to self-defense in response. Araghchi claimed that the vast majority of the British public does not wish to be drawn into this "selective war" initiated by Israel and the US against Iran. He pointed out that UK Prime Minister Starmer, ignoring domestic public opinion, has permitted British military bases to be used for "aggressive" actions against Iran, a move that is putting the British people in danger. He emphasized, "Iran will exercise its right to self-defense." Earlier that day, the UK government authorized the US to use its military bases within its territory to "strike missile facilities used by Iran to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz." (CCTV News)
