A spokesperson for Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that Britain would become a "definite and legitimate target" if it supported the U.S. in any war with Tehran, according to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB.


The spokesperson said any country, including Britain and Gulf states, that backed the U.S. in a conflict would be considered a legitimate target, adding that U.S. bombers had recently used British airfields.
