British police arrested a 22-year-old man in London on suspicion of a terror offense linked to a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England, which authorities suspect is connected to Iran. This arrest is part of an investigation into a suspected plot against RAF Fairford, a base used by American bombers during the ongoing war with Iran. Six other men were previously arrested and released on bail, a decision criticized by President Trump. The investigation continues as authorities pursue various leads. Residents near the base were evacuated after police found gasoline in vans linked to the suspects, though no explosives were discovered. Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicated possible Iranian involvement, while Iran denied any connection. The U.S. has since moved its bombers from the base, with President Trump citing security concerns.
