US backs UK position on Iran's alleged role in planned attack on RAF Fairford base

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists that the United States shares the United Kingdom's position regarding Iran's alleged involvement in preparations for an attack on the RAF Fairford airbase. Rubio said Britain had stated that Iranians were behind the preparations, that there was no basis to disagree with this assessment, and that the US also shares this position.

The remarks follow October 13, when the UK ambassador to Tehran, Hugh Shorter, was summoned to Iran's Foreign Ministry over London's accusations.

Iran has rejected claims that it was linked to the incident at the Fairford airbase, calling them baseless, and has demanded that the UK provide evidence.
