Netanyahu says Israel warned Britain about Iranian terror plot before RAF airbase incident

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that Israel had previously warned Britain about an impending Iranian-sponsored terror attack prior to a suspected plot targeting a Royal Air Force (RAF) airbase. Moments after the news broke, Britain imposed sanctions on Israel. The Prime Minister expressed concern about the Islamist-Marxist alliance and its potential dangers for the West.

Furthermore, Netanyahu spoke about the recent incident involving a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, which was narrowly averted from being hijacked. He commended the bravery of a hero named Yaniv Hayoun, who took swift action to prevent another 9/11. Hayoun reportedly rushed to the cockpit after the captain managed to unlock the door, confronted the attacker, and regained control of the plane by pulling the stick back.

However, Netanyahu acknowledged that there was currently no conclusive evidence linking Iran to the flydubai attack. Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham disclosed on Wednesday that there were strong indications suggesting Iran's involvement in a suspected plot against a Royal Air Force (RAF) airbase utilized by US forces to strike Iran. This incident led to a significant police response, caused alarm among Western allies, and remains largely unexplained.

Five British men in their twenties, all residents of London, were arrested on Sunday in connection with a suspected terrorism and explosive offenses near RAF Fairford in western England. The suspects were subsequently released on bail after undergoing further investigation.
