US Secretary of State Rubio cites foreign involvement in Fairford base incident
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a foreign actor is likely behind the Fairford base incident, as UK investigators probe possible Iranian links.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pointed to foreign involvement in the recent incident at the UK’s Fairford base. UK investigators are currently examining the possibility of Iranian links to the event. While Rubio did not name any specific country, he emphasized the presence of foreign involvement in the incident. British authorities confirmed that an ongoing investigation is underway to ascertain whether any foreign entity or individuals acting on behalf of another state played a role, ruling out no possibilities.
It was noted that Iranian connections are being explored, particularly given Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ past description of the Fairford base as a legitimate target. Recently, British police released five UK nationals who were detained near the base, though their movements and communications remain restricted due to the ongoing investigation.
