UK PM Burnham: Iran's IRGC likely behind RAF Fairford incident

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was ‘almost certainly’ behind threats targeting RAF Fairford.

As that marks the strongest attribution of responsibility made by the British government since the incident late last month, Burnham said while addressing MPs on October 12 that the UK would introduce further sanctions against Tehran and the IRGC.

However, the incident remains under probes, with no charges brought against anyone in connection with the episode despite more than two weeks of police inquiries.
