Iran-Backed Plot Alleged at RAF Fairford Air Base in England
Two British men have been charged with national security offenses in connection with an alleged Iran-backed plot against a US-run military air base in England. The incident occurred at RAF Fairford, which has been used to strike Iran during this year’s war. The men, aged 24 and from London, face charges under the National Security Act. Prosecutors allege that one of the men acted as an intermediary for an Iranian handler, and that the other man was involved in a reconnaissance mission to film the base. The case was first reported by Associated Press.
