Counter-Terrorism Policing in the United Kingdom announced on Tuesday that two men have been rearrested as part of an ongoing investigation into a suspected security threat. The individuals, a 24-year-old British national and a 25-year-old dual UK-Iranian national, were originally taken into custody in September following reports of a potential plot against a US-run airbase in England.

After their initial arrest, both men were released on bail while police continued to gather evidence. The decision to rearrest the suspects comes under the provisions of the National Security Act, which grants authorities broader powers to investigate activities deemed harmful to the state. While police have confirmed the investigation is linked to alleged assistance provided to Iran’s intelligence services, specific details regarding the nature of the plot or the evidence recovered have not been disclosed to the public. The investigation remains active, and authorities have not yet provided further updates on whether formal charges will be filed or if the suspects will remain in custody.
