        "summary": "Britain has stated it will not permit the United States to use its military bases for offensive strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure, such as bridges and power plants, restricting any access to defensive operations only amid escalating tensions. This decision comes in response to US President Donald Trump's threats to destroy key Iranian facilities if Tehran fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, following joint US-Israeli attacks that halted shipping traffic and caused global fuel price surges. The stance highlights London's cautious approach to the conflict, with base usage evaluated case-by-case, potentially influencing broader international dynamics in the Middle East.",
        "content": "<p>Moscow (ANTARA) - Britain will not allow the United States to use its\nmilitary bases to launch attacks on civilian infrastructure, such as\nbridges and power plants, in Iran, according to the daily The i Paper on\nMonday.<\/p>\n<p>The report, citing sources, stated that London would only permit its\nbases to be used for defensive strikes by the US.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump\u2019s threats to attack civilian infrastructure in Iran\ncannot be described as defensive strikes.<\/p>\n<p>The daily also reported that any decision to allow US bomber aircraft\nto land at British military bases would be determined on a case-by-case\nbasis.<\/p>\n<p>The British Royal Air Force base at Fairford is the only European\nmilitary base where US strategic bombers land. That base was also used\nin the past for bombings in Iraq and Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, on 30 March, US President Donald Trump said he would\n\u201cblow up and completely destroy\u201d all power plants, oil refineries,\ndesalination facilities, and Kharg Island if a peace agreement is not\nreached and the Strait of Hormuz is not opened.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday (5\/4), Trump again threatened to attack power plants and\nbridges in Iran on 7 April if Tehran does not restore shipping traffic\nin the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>The United States and Israel launched a joint attack against Iran on\n28 February, causing damage to infrastructure and civilian\ncasualties.<\/p>\n<p>Tehran then carried out retaliatory strikes against Israeli territory\nand US military bases across the Middle East, including in Bahrain,\nQatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the tensions, shipping traffic in the Strait of\nHormuz, a key route for oil and LPG supplies from the Gulf region to\nglobal markets, has come to a complete halt.<\/p>\n<p>The impact has led to many countries experiencing rises in fuel\nprices.<\/p>",
