UK probes Iran link to arrests near RAF Fairford; MoD disputes witness account
Financial Times·GB · IR·about 5 hours ago
Iran's London embassy categorically rejects any connection to five individuals arrested near RAF Fairford, calling speculation 'baseless and malicious' and threatening legal action. The arrests, part of an ongoing investigation, suggest possible espionage or hostile reconnaissance activity near a UK strategic airbase. The denial is consistent with Iran's standard response pattern, but the incident underscores elevated security concerns around NATO assets.
