Iran Issues Serious WW3 Warning Over Possible Attacks on US Military Bases in Britain as Map Reveals UK Locations That Could Be at Risk

Iran has warned that it could attack American military bases across Europe if the United States launches further attacks against the country. The warning has raised serious security concerns in Britain, where several military bases are used by US forces.

Five locations in the UK have now come under attention, with three of them appearing on a map published by an Iranian newspaper showing possible military targets across Europe.

A senior Iranian military official, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, warned that Iran would not limit its response to American bases in the Middle East if the US decided to attack again.

Speaking to Lebanese television station Al Mayadeen, he explained that Iran could also target American military bases in European countries, including locations that the US might believe were beyond the reach of Iranian missiles.

His comments came after an Iranian newspaper called Hamshahri published a map on November 3 showing several military locations across Europe marked with red dots.

The newspaper also included a warning that read, “We will see what happens.”

Three military bases in Britain were named on the map. They are RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and RAF Lakenheath, also in Suffolk.

These bases are used by American military forces and could become a concern if tensions between Iran and the United States continue to grow.

Britain also has two other important facilities used by American forces. They are RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire and RAF Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire.

However, these two locations were not specifically mentioned in the Iranian newspaper.

The warning comes at a time when American military aircraft have reportedly been moved away from RAF Mildenhall following growing security concerns.

According to The Wall Street Journal, two American aircraft used for refuelling other planes were moved to Germany on Monday, November 9.

Several other military aircraft were also reportedly moved from the base afterwards.

Reports also suggested that security at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath had been increased to a level known as Force Protection Condition Charlie.

This is the second-highest security warning level used by the American military and means additional safety measures may be introduced because of a possible threat.

When asked about the situation, a spokesperson for the US Air Force refused to reveal the exact security measures being taken.

The spokesperson explained that the military regularly checks possible threats and adjusts its security arrangements when necessary.

Meanwhile, RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire had already attracted attention in September following reports of a suspected operation linked to Iran.

Two men, Mohmed Abdulkarim and Nouman Essghir, both aged 24, were charged under the National Security Act 2023 over allegations involving a suspected foreign intelligence operation.

However, the allegations against the two men have not been proven in court.

The UK Ministry of Defence has also responded to reports about American military aircraft being moved.

A spokesperson explained that the Ministry does not normally comment on military activities carried out by other countries.

The spokesperson added that aircraft and other military equipment are regularly moved between locations depending on operational needs.

Despite the growing concerns, there has been no official confirmation that Iran is planning to attack any military base in Britain.

Major General Rezaei did not specifically name British military bases during his warning.

Although three UK airbases appeared on the Iranian newspaper’s map, this does not mean Iran has officially decided to attack them.

For now, the situation remains a warning rather than a confirmed plan for an attack.

However, the developments have raised concerns about whether military tensions between Iran and the United States could eventually affect American military facilities based in Britain and other European countries.
