POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — A dual U.K.-Iranian national arrested on suspicion of plotting a terror attack near a U.S.-run military air base in England has been released on bail, according to authorities.

The 25-year-old man was taken into custody Thursday in London over alleged involvement in an incident at RAF Fairford, a U.S. air force base used by American bombers to strike Iran. He was the sixth individual detained and later released on bail as investigators continue their probe.

British authorities have linked the incident to Tehran, though Iran has denied any involvement. The suspects were found with gasoline in vans but no explosives were discovered. U.S. officials have criticized the decision to grant bail, with President Donald Trump stating he would not have done so.
