Britain’s prime minister has delivered a stunning assessment of the suspected terrorist plot targeting RAF Fairford, the British airbase used by American bombers during operations against Iran.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham told Parliament Monday that British intelligence believes the September incident was orchestrated by Tehran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) almost certainly directing the operation.
And yet all seven men arrested in connection with the investigation were released on bail. Explain that one.
Speaking before the House of Commons, Burnham said: “I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard.”
He continued: “We will not tolerate these threats on our soil. We will crack down on Iran’s use of criminal networks using our full range of powers to target them and their funding streams.”
Burnham was lit up by critics on social media.
