Iran Summons British Ambassador over Fairford Airbase Incident, Foreign Ministry Says
- On Tuesday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned British Ambassador Hugo Shorter to Tehran to protest accusations linking Iran to a suspected plot against Royal Air Force Fairford in England.
- British Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated on Monday it was "highly likely" Iran was involved in the September 27 incident at the base, which the United States has used to launch strikes against Iran.
- Police had detained five people on September 27 on suspicion of "explosives and terrorism offenses," though authorities released them on bail after finding gasoline rather than explosives in their vehicles.
- Alireza Yousefi, director general for Western Europe, demanded evidence for the claims, warning that the Islamic Republic will "seriously reconsider" its bilateral relations with London.
- Yousefi categorically rejected the "baseless" claims, further accusing British officials of avoiding accountability for Britain's participation in US-Israeli "aggression" against Iran and hosting anti-Iran groups.
