Israel shared intelligence with the US and UK regarding Iran's possible involvement in a foiled terrorist plot near the British Fairford airbase. In response, London imposed sanctions on Jerusalem. The incident occurred on the morning of September 27: police received a report of three suspicious vehicles heading toward the base, leading to the arrest of five London residents aged 20 to 29. Initially, they were investigated for potential explosives-related offenses, but suspicions later expanded to include preparation for a terrorist attack. Nearby homes were evacuated, and the area was cordoned off. Police later stated that no explosives were found in the vans, though some gasoline was discovered. All detainees were released on bail with restrictions, and the investigation continues. The head of the UK counter-terrorism unit explained the decision, citing accumulated experience and chosen strategy. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated there were "serious signs" of a possible Iranian link. In Israel, this statement was met without surprise. US soldiers are stationed at the base.
