British police arrested a 22-year-old man in London on Tuesday for suspicion of terrorism related to a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England, marking the seventh arrest connected to this case. The previous six individuals arrested were released on bail or monitoring. Prime Minister Andy Burnham suggested that Iran may have been involved but did not provide specifics. President Trump stated that authorities are working closely on the matter and claimed knowledge of the suspects' identities without giving further details.

Story summary
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested that Iran may be behind two recent incidents: a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford, a British airbase used by US forces during operations against Iran, and an attack on a FlyDubai flight. At RAF Fairford, five men were arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts; the investigation is ongoing but authorities believe it involves a foreign actor. Security measures around the base have significantly increased, including roadblocks and armed police patrols. Meanwhile, in the suspected terror plot near the base, British counterterrorism police arrested a dual UK-Iranian national. Burnham stated there are "strong indications" of Iranian involvement while Rubio warned that threats against American interests globally will face repercussions. The incidents raise concerns about Iran's strategy shifting towards more covert and deniable attacks amid ongoing conflicts with the United States and Israel.
