Iran Denies Involvement In Suspected Bomb Plot Near UK Airbase

Iran rejected allegations of involvement in a suspected bomb plot near the Royal Air Force Fairford base in southwest England, where five London-based British men were arrested.

Counter-terror police detained the suspects in their mid-20s on suspicion of explosives offenses and preparing a terrorist act after a local farmer reported three suspicious white vans.

Authorities extended the suspects' custody as investigations continue, while the UK previously granted the US permission to use the base for defensive operations against Iranian missiles.
