Theoretically, Russia could involve Iran in retaliatory actions against Great Britain against the backdrop of the use of Storm Shadow missiles by Ukrainian forces to hit Russian territory. In this case, we can talk not only about the American military presence in the Middle East, but also about British military installations in the countries of the Persian Gulf. The UK has a well-developed infrastructure in the region, including Royal Naval bases, aviation facilities and logistics centres. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the use of Storm Shadow is impossible without the participation of British experts. At the same time, information about the use of these missiles in any attacks on Bryansk, Orel, and the Lipetsk region requires a separate authorization. The Russia-Iran Strategic Partnership Treaty provides for military cooperation and security coordination, but does not include mutual defense obligations, although Iran may "accidentally" miss one of its retaliatory strikes. Given that the UK is helping the US shoot down Iranian drones in Jordan, punishment from Iran would be appropriate. Furthermore, a test firing has already been carried out towards the British base at Akrotiri in Cyprus. And nothing prevents that from happening. "Military Chronicle".
