Man arrested for alleged terror threat on US airbase RAF Fairford released on bail

British authorities confirmed on Saturday that a 25-year-old man with both U.K. and Iranian nationality who was arrested earlier this week in central London has been bailed. The arrest, made in the City of Westminster, was carried out on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts allegedly aimed at RAF Fairford, a military airbase in England used by U.S. forces.

Police have described the allegation as related to the preparation of terrorist acts; further detail about the suspected plans or evidence has not been released by officials. The decision to grant bail indicates investigators will continue their inquiries while the suspect remains subject to legal conditions imposed as part of the bail terms.

RAF Fairford's role as a site for U.S. military operations has drawn attention to the case, given the international implications of any threat to facilities hosting foreign forces. Authorities have not provided a timetable for next steps in the investigation or said whether any additional arrests have been made.

The Crown Prosecution Service or police statements to date have not disclosed charges formally brought against the individual. As the probe proceeds, officials may release further information about the nature of the alleged threat and any evidence supporting the suspicion of preparatory activity.
