Iran has threatened to target UK, French and US military bases across the Middle East if the help block the Iranian missile and drone retaliation for Israel’s attack.

Both countries have exchanged extensive aerial attacks after Israel launched a surprise missile assault on some of Tehran’s nuclear facilities, uranium experts and high-ranking officials on Friday (13 June). Dozens of civilians have been killed in the crossfire.
