UK Defence Minister Says Iran Likely Behind Failed Attempt to Target Fairford

British Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said Friday that Iran was likely responsible for a failed attempt to target Fairford air base.

The base is used by the United States, placing a facility supporting the American military at the centre of the allegation.

Streeting’s assessment pointed to suspected Iranian involvement rather than a confirmed finding of responsibility.

The attempt was described as unsuccessful. No details were provided about how it was carried out or the evidence behind the minister’s assessment.
