> Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s claim that a suspected plot against an RAF base was probably coordinated in Iran. British police detained five people near RAF Fairford on September 27 on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offenses, then released them on bail the next day. Tehran called Britain’s accusations baseless and accused London of advancing an anti-Iran campaign while evading responsibility.
