Here is what the page “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards ‘Almost Certainly’ Behind RAF Fairford Threats, Says Burnham” contains. Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has stated that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were “almost certainly” behind recent threats to RAF Fairford, marking the firmest UK attribution yet following an incident late last month. His remarks came as Prime Minister Keir Starmer told MPs that further sanctions against Tehran and the IRGC would be introduced. Despite more than two weeks of police investigation, no arrests have been made in connection with the ambiguous episode at the Gloucestershire airbase, which hosts US strategic bombers and is a key NATO asset.
The incident has heightened concerns over Iranian state-linked activity on British soil, with the IRGC already proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK. Burnham’s statement reflects growing political pressure for a robust response, while the government’s sanctions pledge signals a hardening stance against Tehran.
