According to the South China Morning Post, British police detained a 22-year-old individual in the Westminster area of central London on Tuesday, suspecting him of preparing terrorist acts. This arrest relates to a security incident at a US-operated military airbase in England, which authorities have connected to Iran.
This detention constitutes the seventh arrest in connection with a suspected plot targeting RAF Fairford, which is situated 160km (100 miles) west of London. This location has reportedly been utilized by American bombers to conduct strikes against Iran during the current year's conflict.
Previously, five British men in their twenties were detained near the base's perimeter during the early morning hours of September 27. Additionally, a 25-year-old British-Iranian man was arrested in London on Thursday.
