SAEDNEWS: Iran Condemns UK Allegations Over RAF Fairford Incident, Calls Them Anti-Iran Plot

Tehran Criticizes UK Over Unfounded Claims About Fairford Air Base

According to Saednews, Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned British allegations linking Tehran to an alleged security incident at RAF Fairford air base, calling the accusations a malicious scheme aimed at fueling anti-Iran sentiment and deflecting attention from Britain’s role in US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.

In an official statement, the ministry stressed that the British government cannot evade its political and legal responsibilities or escape the potential consequences of its allegations by using vague language without providing credible evidence.

The ministry particularly criticized phrases such as “highly likely” and “almost certainly,” describing them as an apparent attempt to make unsubstantiated accusations seem credible while avoiding responsibility for making such claims.

It also pointed to Britain’s history of making alleged security-related accusations against other countries, arguing that such practices have sometimes intensified tensions and contributed to devastating conflicts across West Asia. The ministry warned that the British government must be held accountable for continuing an approach that threatens international peace and security.

Rejecting the allegations outright, Iran’s Foreign Ministry held the British government, along with those responsible for planning and carrying out the alleged false-flag operation, accountable for any consequences resulting from what it described as fabricated claims.
