Five Arrested Near US Air Base in UK Released on Bail

In late September 2026, five men were arrested near a US-run air base in the United Kingdom on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act. Explosives were found, and police are investigating whether there is a link to Iran. Iran denies any role. The men were later released on bail.

President Trump criticized the UK for releasing the suspects. The case has drawn attention to the base, which is used by the US in the Iran war.
