2 men rearrested in UK on suspicion of assisting Iran over suspected plot at U.S.-run air base

British police have rearrested two men on suspicion of aiding Iran's intelligence agency in a plot targeting a U.S.-operated air base in England, RAF Fairford. The men, a 24-year-old British citizen and a 25-year-old dual British-Iranian national, were initially arrested but released on bail. Police are probing a September 27th terror plot against the base, which has been utilized for bombing Iran during the ongoing war.

Though traces of gasoline were discovered at the scene, no explosives were found. Iran has been implicated in the incident, leading the U.S. to withdraw its bombers from RAF Fairford. Five other individuals arrested earlier are still on bail, but no one has been formally charged. National Counter Terrorism Policing in the UK, Laurence Taylor, stated that the investigation is ongoing and highly complex, emphasizing that the British government strongly believes in the involvement of the Iranian state.
