Iran furiously denies involvement in suspected RAF Fairford terror plot
Iran’s foreign minister has denied Tehran played any role in a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford.
Abbas Araghchi hit back after Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were “strong indications” Iran had played a part.
Araghchi said Britain was “barking up the wrong tree” and mocked the case after all five suspects were released on strict bail conditions.
The five British nationals, all in their early 20s, had been arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack near the Gloucestershire base.
Counterterrorism police have not publicly named Iran in connection with the case, with the suspects remaining under investigation.
