United Kingdom police released five terror suspects on bail Monday after they were arrested on suspicion of a terror plot targeting a U.S. air base in Britain this weekend. The arrests near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire followed an alert from a local farmer who reported masked men near the base late Sunday night. Investigators are examining whether a foreign state was involved in the alleged plot. Laurence Taylor, head of Counter Terrorism Policing, confirmed that investigations into the five men are ongoing, including that this may be actively committed by proxies or individuals either knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state.Iran Denies Link to RAF ArrestsThe Iranian Embassy in the U.K. has denied any connection to the five men. Iran stated it categorically rejects and strongly condemns what it called unfounded and malicious speculations linking it to the arrests. Taylor said of the farmer who reported the incident, I would also just say, respectfully, that she has a partial picture. And I won't go beyond that, in terms of commenting on operational security matters.The local resident and farmer told the BBC she called police late in the evening after coming across three white vans blocking a road near RAF Fairford air base. As she turned her car around, she said her headlights illuminated a group of hooded and masked men who panicked upon being spotted and scrambled into a nearby woods.The local, who asked to remain anonymous, told the BBC she was astounded it had been her 999 call that foiled whatever plans they had. She added that she was surprised the base did not have more significant surveillance and security.

A major incident was declared as police set up road blocks on the road to the base.The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London wrote on X that it categorically rejects and strongly condemns the recent unfounded and malicious speculations published by some British individuals and media outlets attempting to link Iran to the arrest of five suspects in the vicinity of RAF Fairford base.The statement continued that the circulation of such fabricated speculations, particularly in the aftermath of the criminal acts of aggression committed by the United States and the Israeli regime against the Iranian people, will serve no purpose other than to fuel Iranophobia propaganda in the U.K. The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to take appropriate legal measures, as necessary, to safeguard the rights and interests of the country and its people in response to misleading and damaging media narratives, the embassy added.
