UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated on Wednesday that there were "strong indications" of Iranian involvement in a security incident at RAF Fairford, used by US forces, an accusation Iran vehemently denies. Burnham said the investigation was ongoing and that more information would be provided in due course. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi hit back on X, stating that the UK government's release of "so-called terrorists" working for foreign entities spoke for itself. Previously, five British men were arrested near the base on suspicion of "terrorism" and explosives offenses but were bailed a day later after police found no explosives, only a small amount of gasoline. US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Rubio both criticized the UK's decision to bail the suspects.
