British authorities have said there are strong indications that Iran was involved in the incident at Fairford air base, according to NRK. The assessment was reported on Wednesday, 30 September 2026.
NRK reported the statement from the British prime minister. VG also reported that British authorities said Iran played a role. TV 2 attributed the same assessment to Andy Burnham.
Aftenposten reported a separate detail about the case: one of the suspects at the centre of what the outlet called the air base mystery in England phoned the police themselves. The reports did not provide further details about the incident itself or about the evidence behind the assessment.
The reports from NRK, VG, TV 2 and Aftenposten offer limited information beyond the central claim of Iranian involvement and the detail about the suspect's call. No information was given about what happened at the base, when it took place, or whether anyone was harmed.
What to watch next: whether British officials release further details about the incident and the basis for linking it to Iran.
