GOP rep believes Iran was involved in thwarted terrorist plan on US air base in the UK
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said Sunday the Iranian government was “clearly” involved in an alleged terror attack authorities in the United Kingdom thwarted earlier in the day. “The simple answer is that clearly Iran was involved, but of course that is going to be investigated and determined,” the congresswoman told Laura Ingle on “NewsNation Live.”...
Five men are suspected of planning a terrorist attack near RAF Fairford, a military base in England used by the United States in its conflict with Iran. The Metropolitan Police and counter-terrorism units responded to reports of three suspicious vehicles near the base around midnight on Sunday. As a precaution, around 85 local homes were evacuated and a bomb disposal robot examined the vehicles.
The identities and motives of the arrested men remain undisclosed by British authorities. The incident has raised concerns in the UK about potential threats from hostile states, particularly Iran, as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East.
