Andy Burnham has said there are “strong indications” Iran played a part in a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford.

The UK is working closely with US and the authorities have the situation under “the strongest grip”, the Prime Minister insisted after Donald Trump criticised the decision to release the suspects.

Five British nationals, all in their mid-20s, were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism near the military base over the weekend before being bailed under investigation on Monday.

    Calling this terrorism is ridiculous. They were trying to get in to a military base which stationed bombers actively used in the ongoing war. Reminds me of the ploughshares movement if it wasn’t sponsored by Iran.
