The UK government has taken formal diplomatic action by summoning Iran's ambassador to London in response to a security incident at the RAF Fairford airbase. Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly addressed the situation, asserting that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was 'almost certainly' responsible for directing the activity at the site.

While the government has framed the incident as a direct challenge to British sovereignty, specific details regarding the nature of the security breach or the evidence linking the IRGC to the event remain limited. The Prime Minister’s statement serves as a stern warning, emphasizing that the UK will not tolerate foreign-directed threats on its soil. This diplomatic escalation marks a significant moment in the current relationship between London and Tehran, as the UK government signals a firm stance against alleged state-sponsored interference. The Foreign Office has not yet released further details regarding the ambassador's response or potential follow-up sanctions.
