Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has informed the UK of a suspected Iranian attack plot targeting a RAF airbase, according to Israeli authorities. The warning came after a three-day investigation involving a bomb disposal team. Police found no explosives in the vehicles but retrieved a "quantity of petrol."
The alert follows heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with Israel accusing Iran of supporting militant groups in the region. The UK has been a key ally of Israel in military and intelligence cooperation. Israeli officials have not provided further details on the nature of the suspected plot or the source of the intelligence.
This incident adds to a pattern of alleged Iranian interference in regional security. Israel has previously accused Iran of backing Hezbollah in Lebanon and supporting attacks on Israeli interests. The UK has expressed concern over the potential threat to its military installations, though no official confirmation of an imminent attack has been made. The situation underscores the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Israel, Iran, and its allies.
