Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has warned the UK that its decision<\/a> to permit the United States to use British military bases for strikes against the Islamic Republic amounts to an \u201cact of aggression,\u201d giving Tehran grounds to invoke its right to \u201cself-defence.\u201dAccording to Iran\u2019s Press TV, Araghchi made the remarks during a telephone conversation with his British counterpart, Ed Miliband, on Friday.He described any cooperation with the \u201caggressors\u201d \u2014 referring to the US \u2014 including arrangements made under the pretext of existing \u201cdefence agreements,\u201d as \u201cunacceptable.\u201dAccording to Press TV, he argued that under international law and the Definition of Aggression resolution, allowing an aggressor state to use a nation\u2019s territory and facilities to launch an “unlawful attack” against another country constitutes an act of aggression, granting the targeted state the right to resort to \u201cself-defence.\u201dThe Iranian top diplomat also criticised what he called Britain\u2019s \u201cunjustified\u201d and \u201cinappropriate\u201d approach toward Iran, citing London\u2019s actions against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and its alleged involvement in two previous wars against the Islamic Republic. He urged the British government to reassess its stance.Araghchi further reiterated Tehran\u2019s determination to respond to any US actions against Iran, warning third parties against assisting or enabling such operations.Miliband, meanwhile, asserted the UK \u201cis not part of the war with Iran,\u201d stressing that London supports diplomacy as the means to resolve disputes. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining dialogue with Tehran to improve bilateral relations and ease regional tensions.The comments came after UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, on July 21, a day after taking office, approved the continued use of British military bases by the US for operations targeting Iran, a policy inherited from his predecessor, Keir Starmer.Burnham, who took office after Starmer resigned following two years in a five-year term, was briefed on the arrangements and endorsed their continuation. The move means British military facilities could support what London describes as \u201csome\u201d ongoing US strikes.After becoming prime minister, Burnham also held a phone call with US President Donald Trump, during which he reaffirmed the UK\u2019s commitment to what the allies have described as efforts to \u201cprotect maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.\u201d(With ANI inputs)<\/span><\/div>\n
