Panic in Britain - new danger emerges after Iranian threats
Several men have been detained near RAF Fairford in the UK on suspicion of violating explosives laws. Residents were evacuated, and counter-terrorism units and bomb disposal experts arrived at the scene. The incident has raised particular alarm following previous Iranian threats against bases used by the US Air Force.
A serious incident occurred near the strategic RAF Fairford base in the UK, which is used by the US military. Several men were detained on suspicion of violating explosives laws. Authorities evacuated residents of a nearby area, and counter-terrorism units and army bomb disposal experts arrived to inspect suspicious vehicles. Police are investigating a possible planned attack on the base. The situation is particularly alarming given previous Iranian threats: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned the UK of consequences for using American bombers from British territory, stating that any base used for actions against Iran could be considered a legitimate target. There is no confirmed link between the detainees and Iran. The arrests were not part of a pre-planned operation, indicating a rapidly developing situation. The British government has been informed but is refusing comment until the investigation is complete.
