Update: at 12:45 AM, police received a call reporting three suspicious vehicles heading towards RAF Fairford, prompting armed officers to respond, where they arrested 5 individuals under the Explosives act and were later further arrested on suspicion of "preperation of a terrorist act". 85 households were evacuated and a 400m cordon was established as Army bomb disposal specialists were deployed to examine the three vehicles. The investigation is currently led by counter-terror police. Sources familiar with the investigation have told the Telegraph that Iranian agents are likely to have been directly involved in the suspected plot, rather then operating through its proxies. Police are also examining several possibilities, including a Russian sabotage operation or Islamic plot, however it's deemed most likely that an Iran-linked motive is the most likely. This major incident occurred shortly after multiple reports surfaced of the base increasing its force-protection protocol, (FPCON) to Delta, which is the highest level and applies when a terrorist attack has occured in the immediate area, and or intelligence indicating that an attack is considered imminent.

This comes following several reports earlier yesterday that RAF Fairford was moved up to FPCON Delta, with Gloucestershirelive, a local paper also saying that intelligence reports suggested the base was moved to FPCON Delta, which is the Pentagons top force-protection level.
