  • US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany warn Iran against hostile acts.
  • Britain blames Iran's Revolutionary Guard for September attack on Fairford airbase.
  • Iran denies accusations, calling them a 'malicious conspiracy'.
  • Five suspects arrested in UK for alleged car bomb plot near Fairford base.
  • Fairford base is used by US forces and has been a launch site for raids on Iran.

They emphasized that any attempt to threaten or target individuals on their territories is unacceptable and vowed to retaliate against any attacks.

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated in Parliament that the Fairford base attack was "very likely" directed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, asserting that London would not tolerate threats and would impose sanctions on Iran to prevent future attacks.

Iran's Foreign Ministry rejected the British accusations as baseless, calling them a "malicious conspiracy" to launch a hostile campaign against Iran and evade responsibility for British involvement in US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

British authorities had arrested five individuals last month on suspicion of attempting to detonate a car bomb near the Fairford base in southwest England. Security forces had reinforced the area before announcing the incident was under control.

US President Donald Trump commented on the arrests, calling them successful and stating the suspects were planning significant damage to the base. He noted they had been under surveillance for a long time before their apprehension.
