> Iran’s embassy in London has “categorically rejected” speculation connecting Iran to the arrests of five men near RAF Fairford. Police say all five are UK nationals living in London; they were detained on suspicion of terrorism offences and released on bail. Counter-terrorism officers are still investigating any possible link to Iran.
