⚡️🇬🇧🇮🇷 The director of British counterintelligence MI5, Ken McCallum, has stated that Iran is increasingly seeking to target military sites in the UK, citing what he called a change in Tehran's ambitions.

According to Arab News, McCallum said that the incident that occurred near Fairford airbase "is not unique," but declined to discuss the case because it is under investigation.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is "almost certainly" behind the incident, despite British authorities not providing any public evidence confirming Tehran's involvement.

These statements came after gasoline was found in vans near Fairford airbase last month, leading to an investigation into an alleged plot against the military base, which is used by American bombers participating in strikes on Iran.

Five people were detained as part of this investigation and then released on bail. Neither the arrests nor the discovery of the gasoline by themselves confirm Iran's involvement, and British authorities have so far not provided public evidence supporting their claims of Tehran's connection to the incident.
