  "summary": "Iran has summoned the British ambassador to Tehran in response to accusations linking Tehran to a suspected plot against Fairford air base in Britain, according to the country's foreign ministry. The incident comes after British Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated on Monday that a suspected plot targeting the base, which had been used by US bombers to carry out strikes on Iran, was highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran. Tehran has denied any involvement in the incident, with its foreign ministry stating that the British government must provide documents and evidence supporting its accusations against Iran regarding the alleged incident. If the British government fails to do so, Iran said it will seriously reconsider its bilateral relations with the UK.",
