Iran Escalates Targeting of UK Military Bases, IRGC Linked to Fairford Plot

Iran has significantly escalated its targeting of UK military bases, with MI5 reporting 50 arrests in the past year to disrupt Iran-linked operations. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and MI5 Director General Ken McCallum have publicly attributed a suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), prompting a diplomatic warning from 30 nations and the summoning of Tehran's ambassador. This marks a qualitative shift in Iranian hostile operations against the UK, moving beyond espionage to include direct threats against military infrastructure.
