Two Suspected of Aiding Iranian Intelligence Re-Arrested in Britain After Incident at Fairford Airbase
UK counter-terrorism police re-arrested a 24-year-old Briton and a 25-year-old British-Iranian dual national on suspicion of aiding a foreign intelligence service under the National Security Act 2023. The investigation is linked to an incident near RAF Fairford base on 27 September, when suspicious vans containing petrol were discovered. Seven people in total have been arrested, all released on bail without charges. Police consider Iranian state involvement 'highly likely'; Tehran rejects these claims.
