UK's Burnham says Iran likely behind foiled plot on base hosting U.S. bombers

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated in the House of Commons that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) was likely behind a foiled terror plot targeting RAF Fairford, a base that previously hosted U.S. bomber jets. This assessment aligns with earlier claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has criticized the UK's decision to release some suspects on bail. While Iran denies involvement, the UK has pledged to impose further sanctions and target criminal networks associated with the IRGC. In response to security concerns, the U.S. has relocated its bombers from the base.
