The UK defence secretary has said protecting UK military and civilians in the Middle East from "indiscriminate attacks" by Iran was his priority.
John Healey told the BBC that "no-one will mourn" the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of US and Israeli air strikes on Iran.
Healey said some British military personnel at a base in Bahrain had been "within several hundred yards" of a retaliatory missile and drone strike on Saturday, while two missiles had been fired in the direction of Cyprus.
The UK did not participate in the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, and Healey said the government was reviewing the terror threat level in the UK.
