Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel had provided intelligence to the UK regarding an "Iranian-sponsored attack," which he implied was related to a recent incident at RAF Fairford where five men were arrested on explosives charges. Despite this warning, Netanyahu criticized the UK for imposing sanctions on Israel shortly after the alleged warning. The article does not specify whether the warned attack was the exact RAF Fairford incident or another event, and it highlights President Trump's surprise over the suspects' release on bail, suggesting disagreement between the U.S., UK, and Israeli positions on how to handle potential threats.

Story summary
In recent days, security measures at RAF Fairford, a U.S. Air Force base in Gloucestershire, England, significantly increased with armed police and roadblocks preventing access to the base. On Sunday morning, British police declared a major incident after suspicious vehicles were reported near the airbase; five UK nationals in their 20s were arrested and later released on bail for terror offenses under suspicion of involvement with explosives.
Local residents noted heavy vehicles and concrete barriers blocking entrances to the base weeks before the incident. Around 30 emergency vehicles, including police cars, ambulances, and fire engines, were stationed near the base during heightened security measures. The arrests occurred amid increased tensions between the U.S., Iran, and the UK; Iranian officials have denied involvement.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested a "foreign actor" was involved, linking it to threats from adversaries like Iran, while British Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicated there are strong indications that Iran played a role in the incident, despite ongoing investigations. The U.K. and U.S. have been closely cooperating on this matter, with Burnham stating they were “on top of it.”
