Two men arrested during an investigation into a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford have been rearrested on suspicion of assisting Iran's intelligence service, Counter Terrorism Policing has said.
Rearrest in ongoing investigation
The rearrest marks a significant development in the case, which began with the initial arrests of the two individuals. Counter Terrorism Policing confirmed the new suspicion relates to assisting Iran's intelligence operations.
The men were originally detained as part of the broader investigation into the suspected terror plot near the Gloucestershire airbase.
Background to the case
RAF Fairford has been at the centre of the investigation, which has drawn attention due to its role as a Royal Air Force station. The specific details of the alleged plot have not been disclosed by authorities.
Counter Terrorism Policing has not released further information about the men or the nature of the alleged assistance to Iran's intelligence service at this stage.
Next steps
The investigation remains ongoing, with police continuing to gather evidence. Further updates are expected as the case progresses.
