GOP rep believes Iran was involved in thwarted terrorist plan on US air base in the UK

Rep. Kat Cammack, a Republican congresswoman from Florida, said on NewsNation Live Sunday that the Iranian government was 'clearly' involved in an alleged plot British authorities said they had disrupted earlier the same day. Cammack said she expects the connection to be clarified as investigators continue their work. London Metropolitan Police arrested five men on suspicion of planning an attack on RAF Fairford, a Royal Air Force base in southwest England that is operated by U.S. forces. Authorities said the arrests followed a call early Sunday about three suspicious vehicles traveling toward the base; police have not released the nationalities of the detainees. Cammack noted that American forces have used RAF Fairford to launch strikes on Iranian missile sites and suggested Iran might have coordinated through proxy actors, referencing groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. President Donald Trump praised British authorities for the arrests and said the U.S. 'worked with' U.K. counterparts, adding that the suspects had been monitored for some time. U.K. officials urged caution while the probe proceeds. Greater Manchester Mayor and United Kingdom minister Andy Burnham said public safety is a priority and asked people not to speculate as authorities establish the full facts. The investigation into the alleged plot remains active and details continue to emerge.
