Iran: Foreign Minister rejects British terror allegations

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected the British government's assessment that Tehran could be involved in the incident near a US air base in Britain. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham was “on the wrong track” with his assessment, wrote Araghtschi on Platform X.

Araghtschi further wrote that Burnham was convinced that Iran played a role in the incident. But: “I can confirm Iran’s belief that the release of alleged terrorists working for foreign countries really speaks volumes.”

The five men were picked up on Sunday night near the British military base RAF Fairford, which is used by the US Air Force, and have since been released under strict conditions.
