> Iran has denied involvement in a suspected plot targeting the UK’s Fairford Airbase, calling claims linking Tehran to the incident “unfounded and malicious”. Five British men arrested near the base were released on bail, while police said they have not linked the arrests to Iran. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband vowed that the UK would act against Iran’s “proxies”.
