UK Police Rearrest Men Suspected of Aiding Iran Intelligence
British counter-terrorism police have rearrested two men, a 24-year-old British national and a 25-year-old dual U.K.-Iranian national, on suspicion of assisting Iran's intelligence service.
The arrests are linked to a suspected plot at the U.S.-run RAF Fairford air base in England. Police consider Iranian state involvement highly likely, though Iran denies any connection to the incident.
The incident led to the evacuation of residents near RAF Fairford. Seven men have been arrested in total as part of the investigation, though no one has been charged. The head of Britain's MI5 spy agency recently warned that Iran and Russia are expanding their attacks against the U.K.
