UK PM Burnham: 'Very Strong Indications' Iran Involved in RAF Fairford Incident

There are very strong indications that Iran was involved in the incident near the RAF Fairford air base in Gloucestershire, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said, according to Greek newspaper Ta Nea and network i24NEWS.

Burnham made the remarks during a media briefing at the conclusion of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, addressing the counter-terrorism investigation that led to the arrest of five suspects near the military facility. Outlet Kikar HaShabbat noted that this marks the first official confirmation of Iranian involvement by the British prime minister, while Tehran strongly denies the allegations.

Further details regarding the ongoing investigation by British security authorities have not yet been released.
