LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday that a suspected plot targeting the RAF Fairford air base in Britain was “highly likely” to have been coordinated in Iran, and almost certainly directed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The RAF Fairford base had been used by US bombers to carry out strikes on Iran but last week, US President Donald Trump said a threat linked to Iran had prompted the removal of the planes.
U.S. officials have told Reuters that there had been a suspected plot involving Iran to launch a drone attack.
