A 25-year-old dual UK-Iranian national who was the sixth person arrested in connection with a suspected terrorist plot targeting RAF Fairford has been released on bail, police confirmed.

The man was detained on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts under section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006. He had been held as part of an ongoing counter-terrorism investigation that has examined what authorities described as “possible foreign state involvement.”

Police have not disclosed further details about the suspect’s identity or the specific allegations while inquiries continue. The investigation remains live and more information may be released as officers progress their work.
