The US has accused a "foreign actor" of involvement in a suspected terror plot targeting RAF Fairford, a UK airbase used by the US Air Force. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the incident as a "very serious situation," though he did not specify which country was involved. Five men were arrested near the base but were later released on bail.
Authorities are investigating whether the plot was linked to a foreign state, with some reports suggesting Iran as a possible connection. However, no explosives were found, and the exact nature of the threat remains unclear. The UK police are also probing the matter, though no official confirmation of a foreign link has been made.
Rubio emphasized the seriousness of the situation, warning that more details would emerge. The incident has raised concerns about security at the base, which hosts US military operations. While the US has pointed to Iran's threats against American interests, no direct evidence has been presented to support the claim.
The case highlights ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, with the latter denying any involvement. As the investigation continues, officials remain cautious about making definitive statements.
