Iran’s claim of self-defense
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would exercise its right to legitimate self-defence, reacting to the British Prime Minister’s permission for the US to use British bases to attack Iranian missile sites in the Strait of Hormuz.
The vast majority of the British People do not want any part in the Israel-US war of choice on Iran.
Ignoring his own people, Mr. Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing UK bases to be used for aggression against Iran. Iran will exercise its right to self-defense.
— Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) March 20, 2026
Araghchi wrote on social media that most of the people of Britain do not want to get involved in the US-Israel war. He said British lives were in danger with Starmer’s permission because Iran would exercise its right to self-defence.
