Premature to Say Whether Iran Involved in Incident at RAF Base Used by USAF: UK Defense Secretary
The Iranian Embassy in London criticized 'unfounded and malicious speculations' linking Iran to the incident at the RAF Fairford airbase in England.
British defense secretary Wes Streeting stated it is premature to speculate if the arrest of five British nationals near RAF Fairford, a base used by the U.S. Air Force, is linked to Iran. The arrests occurred after a farmer reported three vans heading toward the airfield. U.S. President Donald Trump indicated the individuals intended to cause “big damage” to the base.
