Three charged over Iran-linked plot against RAF Fairford as Tehran rejects uranium transfer
Three people have been charged over an Iran-linked plot against the British airbase, and the FT reports the US says it was partly directed from a New York jail. Iran says it will not transfer enriched uranium and is pursuing nuclear-powered vessels.
What we know
The FT reports that US authorities say the RAF Fairford incident was partly directed from a New York jail, and three people have been charged. The UK told G7 foreign ministers it has grave concern over Iranian involvement in violent plots, including against Fairford. Iran rejects transferring a single atom of enriched uranium, and its security chief said Iran is working on nuclear-powered ships and submarines (reported via Lebanese outlet Al Mayadeen, per market news accounts). Meanwhile, Rubio told the NYT that economic pressure means there is no need for major combat operations, and the Saudi-led coalition intercepted three Houthi cruise missiles aimed at Riyadh.
