A former U.S. protection expert warned four UK sites could be Iran targets via unconventional or cyber means.
UK bases could be targeted if tensions escalate, though a large-scale attack on Britain remains unlikely.
The four potential targets are RAF Fairford, HMNB Portsmouth, HMNB Devonport, and GCHQ Cheltenham.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the UK does not back regime change from the skies, but would defend allies.
The context includes strikes in the region and an attack on RAF Akrotiri and other sites.
Iran may escalate with cyber or covert actions rather than a large-scale invasion.
The UK security apparatus is active, with MI5 and counter-terrorism policing positioned to disrupt plots.
About 102,000 UK citizens had registered in the Middle East by March 2 amid the crisis.
