The British Prime Minister said that Iran was involved in the Fairford base incident. The Iranian Foreign Minister responded: You are completely in the wrong direction.

China News Service, October 1. According to reports from the BBC and the Wall Street Journal on September 30, local time, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that the British government believed that Iran was "involved in what happened at the British Air Force Fairford Base."

"There are strong indications that Iran was involved in what happened at RAF Fairford," Burnham told the BBC, without providing further details.

"We will reveal more information in due course, but can confirm that we believe Iran played some role in this matter," Burnham said. "Of course, this is still a complex and serious incident that is under investigation, and we are working closely with the United States." Burnham added.

In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi responded on social media. In response to Burnham's statement, Araghchi said, "You are completely in the wrong direction."

According to previous reports, at around 0:45 on September 27, local time, a local female resident called the police and reported that she saw three "suspicious vehicles" driving towards the Fairford base. British police subsequently arrested five people in the nearby Welford area on suspicion of explosives crimes. These five people were later accused of planning "terrorist attacks."

The Iranian Embassy in the United Kingdom denied on September 28 that it was related to the five people arrested near the British Air Force Fairford Base a day earlier on suspicion of planning a "terrorist attack." Later that day, the British police announced that the five British suspects had been released on bail, and said that they were investigating from "all possible angles" including the "current geopolitical environment".

According to the Wall Street Journal, unnamed security officials suspected that the target of the "terrorist attack" was a US B-1 bomber at the Fairford Base. According to informed sources, five people were released on bail, indicating that investigators believe it is unlikely that they are about to launch a serious bombing attack near the base.

According to the BBC, when asked why these suspects were released on bail, Burnham insisted that these people were subject to the "strictest bail conditions". Previously, this bail decision was publicly questioned by US President Trump. "The authorities have a very tight grip on this and a very tight regulatory oversight, I can assure you of that," Burnham said.

After the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military attack on Iran on February 28, the British government allowed the U.S. Air Force to use Fairford Base to conduct air strikes on Iranian missile launch sites. According to multiple media reports, Iran stated in July this year that "any base used to invade Iranian territory is a legitimate target."
