British counter-terrorism police arrested a 27-year-old dual UK-Iranian national in London as part of an investigation into a security incident near RAF Fairford, a military air base in western England used by the US for operations against Iran. A second British man, aged 26, was also questioned under caution, while detectives searched two properties. The arrest follows the detention of five British men in their 20s near the Gloucestershire base on Sunday over suspected terrorism and explosives-related offences. They were later released without charge on police bail. Investigators are examining whether a foreign state was involved, while British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said the incident could have an Iranian link. The investigation remains ongoing.
