Arrests Following 'Major Incident' at UK Base Used by US in Iran Conflict
Multiple men were arrested for violating explosives laws at RAF Fairford, a British airbase permitted for US operations against Iranian targets. Gloucestershire Police evacuated nearby residents and deployed emergency services after declaring a major incident, though they stated the situation was under control. The base has been used by the US for strikes on Iranian missile sites in the Strait of Hormuz, leading the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to label it a legitimate target in July. The UK government affirmed its readiness to defend the facility against any attacks.
