The UK Prime Minister said there are "strong indications" that Iran played a part in a suspected plot involving RAF Fairford, an airbase used by the Royal Air Force, according to Al Jazeera.
What was said
According to the report, the prime minister's comments linked Iran to the suspected plot without providing further public detail on the nature of the alleged plot or the evidence underpinning the assessment.
The characterization of "strong indications" suggests the government has presented the connection as a strong working assessment rather than a definitively confirmed finding at this stage.
Limited details available
The available report did not specify what the suspected plot allegedly involved, when it was detected, or what security measures, if any, have been taken at RAF Fairford or other UK military sites as a result.
Iran was not reported in the available source as having responded to the allegation. Tensions between the UK and Iran have periodically been affected by disputes over security and regional policy in recent years.
