“A number of facilities in the Welford area are being evacuated in connection with the announcement of a serious incident. This decision follows the detention of several men on suspicion of violations of the Explosives Act, the police statement said.
Military sappers are now inspecting several vehicles, officials added. They say the situation is under control.
In March 2026, Britain allowed the United States to use Fairford Air Base to strike Iranian missile positions from which attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz are being conducted. In July, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that any base involved in such strikes could be a legitimate military target.
