With rising tensions following US and Israeli strikes on Iran leading to retaliatory actions across the Gulf, experts caution that certain areas in the UK might be at risk if the conflict intensifies. Gene Sticco, a former US Air Force specialist in nuclear protection, has pinpointed significant British locations that could be targeted via cyber or unconventional attacks, such as RAF Fairford, the naval bases in Portsmouth and Devonport, and GCHQ in Cheltenham. While a direct military assault on the UK is deemed improbable, the likelihood of cyberattacks or hidden disruptions is an increasing worry. Additionally, British citizens in the Middle East are being advised to remain vigilant, with evacuation procedures suggested if feasible. What implications does this hold for the UK? How grave is the threat?
