UK Prime Minister Cites ‘Strong Indications’ of Iranian Role in Fairford Air Base Incident

The British prime minister has pointed to possible Iranian involvement in an incident at Fairford air base.

The prime minister said there were “strong indications” linking Iran to the incident, framing the allegation as a suspicion rather than a confirmed finding.

Iran’s foreign minister pushed back against the assessment, saying the British prime minister was “heading in the wrong direction.”

The remarks set out opposing positions over Iran’s alleged role, with the British leader raising suspicions and the Iranian minister challenging that conclusion.
