British police have arrested a 27-year-old dual British-Iranian citizen in London as part of an investigation into a security incident at a US military base in England. The arrest follows a series of detentions in the case, which began last Sunday with the apprehension of five men in their 20s. These individuals, who were subsequently released on bail, were suspected of involvement in an incident at RAF Fairford, a base recently used by US bombers to target Iran. A second British citizen, aged 26, is also being questioned under caution but has not been arrested, according to the Counter Terrorism Unit. Police are treating the investigation as highly complex, with expert teams exploring multiple leads, including the potential involvement of a foreign state. Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that Britain has "strong indications" of Iranian involvement, a claim Iran denies.
