Expert names four UK sites Iran could target over US bases
Former US Air Force nuclear protection specialist Gene Sticco has named four UK locations that could theoretically be targeted by Iran amid Britain's decision to allow the US to use its military bases. The four sites identified are RAF Fairford, HMNB Portsmouth, HMNB Devonport in Plymouth, and GCHQ in Cheltenham. Sticco acknowledged a conventional strike on the mainland remains very unlikely, warning any attack would most likely take the form of a cyberattack or covert operation rather than a direct military strike.
