Andy Burnham says Iran’s Revolutionary Guard ‘almost certainly’ directed RAF Fairford plot

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced to the House of Commons that the UK government assesses it is 'highly likely' Iran coordinated and 'almost certainly' directed a plot against RAF Fairford. The September 27 incident involved the discovery of suspicious vans near the airbase, leading to several arrests of British and British-Iranian nationals. In response, the UK has implemented new sanctions against specific Iranian officials and criminal network facilitators, while a coalition of 32 nations issued a joint statement condemning Iran's use of proxy violence and hostile activities.
