At the same time, he noted that these missiles were not aimed at the bases and added that 300 British servicemen were near targets in Bahrain.
Healey also clarified: Iran's actions show "how indiscriminate Tehran's retaliation is" in response to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Recall
Iranian state media and leading news agencies Fars and Tasnim confirmed the death of the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This statement came after US President Donald Trump announced the elimination of the leader of the Islamic Republic as a result of a large-scale military operation.
Also, media, including Iranian ones, reported that as a result of strikes on Iran on February 28, the commanders of the country's armed forces were eliminated.
