Three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday 27th September and the police were called. A major incident was declared, and everyone in the small village of Whelford was evacuated.

RAF Fairford is a military airfield located in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. It is owned by the UK’s Ministry of Defence, but is operated on a day-to-day basis by the United States Air Force under an agreement between the UK and US.

Five men, all British nationals in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism offences, and they were later released on bail. A dual UK-Iranian national, aged 25, has also since been arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

BBC Reporter Steve Knibbs visited the usually quiet village in rural Gloucestershire to speak to its residents and find out more.

An open letter to the American people from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) claims the US public don’t know what is happening in Iran and asks them to pressure the Trump administration to end the war.

Meanwhile President Donald Trump has said he believes taking action against Tehran will be seen as one of the most important things in the history of the United States.

Iran threatens to attack infrastructure across the Middle East, if the country’s security cannot be guaranteed.
