❗️British prosecutors charge two men over alleged plot targeting US airbase in Gloucestershire British authorities charged two men under the National Security Act on Tuesday in connection with an alleged intelligence plot targeting RAF Fairford, a key US-run airbase in southwestern England. The Crown Prosecution Service charged a 24-year-old British-Iranian national with assisting Iranian intelligence, while a 24-year-old British citizen was charged with entering a prohibited military site for purposes harmful to state security. Six other individuals arrested in connection with the investigation were released on bail as counter-terrorism police continue searching for secondary suspects. The charges stem from a high-stakes security breach on 27 September outside RAF Fairford, a forward deployment hub used by US B-1 Lancer heavy bombers to execute strikes against Iran during the US-Israeli war. Armed counter-terrorism units and army bomb-disposal squads swarmed the rural perimeter, initiating mass residential evacuations as specialized teams searched the area for explosive devices. The incident prompted the US military to temporarily withdraw its strategic bomber fleet from the British facility, while Prime Minister Andy Burnham publicly attributed the operation to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iranian officials rejected western allegations of direct involvement, maintaining that Tehran operates strictly within international law while reiterating that any foreign military staging ground used to launch attacks against Iranian territory constitutes a legitimate military target.
