00:00Which towns in the U.K. are most at risk if tensions with Iran continue to rise?
00:04The question is louder than ever, after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran
00:08sparked a wave of retaliation across the Gulf.
00:11Right now, experts warn that Britain could be pulled deeper into the fallout.
00:15And the concern isn't coming from missiles.
00:17It's coming from something far more covert.
00:20The tension grew after Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed U.K. bases
00:24may support defensive actions in the region.
00:26And that decision, according to former U.S. Air Force nuclear protection specialist Gene Sticko,
00:32crossed a line in Iran's eyes.
00:34He says several U.K. sites could become potential targets.
00:37Not by direct strikes, but through cyber and unconventional attacks.
00:42Locations at risk include RAF Fairford, the naval bases in Portsmouth and Plymouth,
00:47and the intelligence hub GCHQ.
00:49Sticko stresses Iran cannot hit the U.K. with traditional weapons.
00:53But it can disrupt daily life through cyber attacks.
00:56Or by targeting Israeli or Jewish sites inside Britain.
00:59The bigger danger right now.
01:01British nationals in the Middle East, over 102,000, have already registered with the government.
01:07And that number could reach 300,000.
01:10His advice is simple.
01:11If evacuation becomes possible, get out while you can.
01:15And for those at home, follow official guidance as tensions continue to rise.

01:20And the U.K.
