UK counterterrorism police arrested a 27-year-old dual UK-Iranian national in London on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act connected to the security incident near RAF Fairford. Police also searched two London properties and interviewed a second British man under caution.
Why it matters
The arrest expands the Fairford investigation beyond the five suspects released on bail and could affect security measures around a base used by U.S. bombers in operations against Iran.
