According to a report by Sandesh, Britain is spending a massive half a billion pounds to enhance the security of its nuclear plants. This decision has been taken following information received by intelligence agencies, which expressed the possibility of an attack by Iran on Britain's nuclear plants. This threat was revealed through an email from the Royal Marines, following which Britain has started building a steel security shield around the nuclear plants.
British defence chiefs are strengthening security at bases across the country to prevent Iran-backed attackers from reaching the facilities. Iran has announced plans to attack several locations in Europe, due to which British intelligence agencies are on alert. Iranian attackers could carry out guerrilla-style attacks, with the fear of drone attacks being the highest. Last year's drone attacks by Ukraine on Russian bases shocked the world, which has made Britain vigilant. Following the recent Iranian drone attacks, Britain has also removed American aircraft from Mildenhall.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard has threatened that if the US and Israel attack Tehran, Iran will target American bases located in Britain and Europe. Since Britain is a member of NATO, there are many American bases located there. Iran has small drone and missile weapons that are difficult to detect. Moreover, Britain is more accessible to Iran than the US, and since Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei has property in Britain, an attack could be easier.
