British-Iranian Man Arrested Over Alleged Plot Targeting UK Airbase

A British-Iranian dual national has been arrested in London on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts linked to an alleged plot targeting RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, an airbase used by the United States military. Police said the 27-year-old was detained in Westminster, while a second man was questioned under caution. Officers also searched two residential properties connected to the investigation. The arrests follow an earlier security incident near the airbase, where five men were detained and later released on strict police bail. Investigators said petrol was recovered from vans at the scene, but no explosive devices were found. British authorities are examining possible foreign-state involvement, while Iran has denied any connection.
