- Rep. Kat Cammack stated that the Iranian government was 'clearly' involved in a foiled terrorist attack on a U.S. air base in the United Kingdom, calling for formal investigation into the matter
- UK authorities thwarted an alleged terrorist plot targeting a U.S. air base earlier on Sunday, though specific details about the method or suspects were not provided in initial reports
- Iran has not been officially accused by UK or U.S. government agencies in public statements, but Cammack's assertion adds political pressure for a formal attribution
Why it matters: The claim by a senior U.S. lawmaker directly implicates Iran in an attack on NATO soil before official intelligence assessments are released, raising stakes for diplomatic and military responses even if evidence remains unverified. This could prompt faster escalatory reactions than typical intelligence cycles allow.
