Iran’s embassy in London rejected speculation that Tehran was linked to the suspected plot near RAF Fairford, where five British nationals were arrested. UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said Britain would act against Iranian proxies; police had not linked Iran to the arrests.
Why it matters
The denial and the UK response add a diplomatic-security dimension to an investigation near a base used by US aircraft involved in strikes on Iran.
