RAF Fairford: Netanyahu claims Israel warned UK of ‘Iranian attack’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel provided Britain with intelligence about a potential Iranian attack at the RAF Fairford military base on Sunday. However, he did not present any evidence to support his assertion. Netanyahu also alleged that the British government had caved in to an "Islamist-Marxist alliance," following a previous statement in which an Israeli minister labeled British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood an "Islamist."

In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu stated, "You talked about the thing in Britain. Do you want to hear how absurd things are there? And how far the anti-Israeli propaganda has gone?" He further warned that the "caving in, the collapse before the Islamist-Marxist alliance is very dangerous for the future of the West." The British Foreign Office has been contacted for comment regarding Netanyahu's claims.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham expressed strong indications that Iran may have played a role in the events near RAF Fairford, where five British nationals were arrested on suspicion of terrorist offenses on Sunday. However, the investigation is ongoing, and the incident was not classified as an "intelligence-led operation."
