RAF Fairford plot: 6th arrest as 3 petrol vans target US bomber base

A sixth arrest — a 25-year-old dual UK-Iranian national — has widened the suspected plot against RAF Fairford into a potential state-directed threat against a critical US strategic-bomber forward operating base. With three petrol-laden vans, no recovered explosives, and UK warnings of 'strong indications' of Iranian involvement, the case is testing force protection and basing arrangements for strike missions against Tehran.
