Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iran sees'false flag' operations after UK blames IRGC for airbase incident Share Iran sees'false flag' operations after UK blames IRGC for airbase incident on social media Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the United Kingdom's attribution of an alleged plot near a military airbase in the town of Fairford to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which it views as part of a greater Western effort. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told Parliament on Monday that the suspected plot last month against the Royal Air Force base was "highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran" and "almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard". The UK announced sanctions against two Iranian nationals over alleged "hostile activity" at RAF Fairford in southern England. It follows an incident around the base, which hosted US military aircraft, in the early hours of September 27, when five British men in their 20s suspected of "terrorism" and explosives offences were arrested.
