UK Police Rearrest Two Men Over Suspected Iran-Linked Plot at RAF Fairford
British police have rearrested two men, a 24-year-old British citizen and a 25-year-old dual UK-Iranian national, on suspicion of assisting Iran's intelligence service in a suspected plot targeting RAF Fairford, a US-run air base in England. The arrests follow an incident on September 27 that led to evacuations and a major investigation. Authorities consider Iranian state involvement likely, though Iran denies the allegations. The investigation remains ongoing, with no charges filed yet.
