Andy Burnham says there are 'strong indications' that Iran played a part in a security incident near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, although Tehran strongly denies involvement. Five British men aged between 23 and 25 were arrested after police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles near the airbase. Officers reportedly discovered petrol but no explosive devices during searches. The suspects have since been released under what Burnham described as the 'strictest possible bail conditions' while a complex investigation continues. Donald Trump questioned the decision to grant bail, while Marco Rubio said the incident appeared to involve a foreign actor. RAF Fairford has long been used by the US airforce and recently supported American operations in the Middle East after Britain authorised its use for defensive strikes against Iran. Iranian officials had previously warned that bases used for attacks against Iranian territory could become targets. Burnham said British security services were working closely with American counterparts and that further information would be released when appropriate.
