The Gateway Pundit reported that last weekend, there was an incident at RAF Fairford airbase, which is used by US air forces during military operations against Iran.

Five suspects were photographed in British police detention after their suspicious vans, which were suspected of carrying chemicals and explosives, were reported traveling toward the air base.

Aerial footage captured by a news helicopter shows an explosive ordnance disposal robot operating near what is believed to be the vans used by the suspected terrorists.

President Trump responded to reports, noting the suspects were under surveillance “for a long time.”

All five suspects arrested were released on bail on Monday.

Now, British officials have announced the arrest of a UK-Iranian dual national in connection with the incident, and a second man has been questioned as officials weigh possible foreign-state involvement.

Per BBC:

A UK-Iranian dual national has been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford, counter-terror police have said.

The 27-year-old man was arrested in Westminster, London. A second man, a 26-year-old UK national, has also been questioned under caution, and two properties in the area have been searched.

Britain’s Prime Minister Andy Burnham suggested that foreign-state involvement may be at play.

“There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford,” Burnham told reporters when asked about Sunday’s events at the base in southwest England.

“We can confirm our belief that we believe Iran to have played a part.”

He added that British authorities “are working closely with our colleagues in the United States of America.”
