Iran condemns UK’s ‘baseless’ claims over Fairford air base incident

  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned “baseless” claims by British officials blaming an alleged security incident at the Fairford air base on Iran, calling it an “ugly conspiracy” against the country.

In a statement on Monday evening, the Foreign Ministry said the UK government cannot evade political and legal responsibility for its claims and their possible consequences by hiding behind vague wording without providing solid evidence.
​
The ministry noted that the accusation was an “ugly conspiracy” aimed at advancing an anti-Iran campaign and evading accountability for Britain’s role in the US-Israeli military aggression against the Iranian people.
​
The statement said the use of phrases such as “highly likely” and “almost certainly” to suggest the credibility of attributing the alleged incident to Iran is a clear attempt to dodge accountability for baseless accusations.
