00:01Five men have been arrested on suspected explosives offences after British police declared a major
00:08incident near a Royal Air Force base in the UK on Sunday, leading to the evacuation of
00:14local residents. Gloucestershire police said in a statement that residents from the Welford
00:19area were being evacuated. Welford is close to Raff Fairford, a military base that hosts
00:26the United States Air Force. The statement added that an Army Specialist Explosive Ordnance
00:31Disposal Team was examining multiple vehicles, although they believed the incident to be
00:37contained. According to the U.S. Air Force, the base is home to two military units, while also
00:43serving as the preferred bomber-forge operating location in Europe for YUSAF Global Strike
00:49Command. In July, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards issued a warning to the UK against
00:55allowing the U.S. to operate bombers from Raff Fairford.
00:59Any base that is used to invade Iran's territory is our legitimate goal, the IRGC said in a statement.
