The Iranian foreign ministry summoned the British ambassador to Tehran following reports that Iran was involved in a suspected sabotage plot targeting RAF Fairford, a Royal Air Force base in the United Kingdom. According to reports from the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, the summons was issued by Majid Takht-Ravanchi, the ministry’s political deputy.

During the meeting, Takht-Ravanchi formally rejected the accusations, characterizing them as "false." The Iranian government has demanded that the United Kingdom provide evidence or further explanation regarding the basis for these claims. The incident marks a point of diplomatic friction between the two nations, as Tehran pushes back against allegations of involvement in security threats on British soil. While the Iranian side has publicly denied the claims and requested clarification, the British government has not yet provided a public response to the summons or the specific nature of the evidence regarding the alleged plot.
