Burnham: Iran's Guards almost certainly directed UK scare
Dawn says Prime Minister Andy Burnham told MPs the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps almost certainly directed a scare at a UK airbase used by the US, and that new sanctions will follow.
Dawn, citing AFP, quotes British Prime Minister Andy Burnham telling MPs that a scare at a UK airbase was highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran.
He said it was almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and that new sanctions would be unveiled.
The 12 October report does not give a casualty figure.
Iran’s denial is from an earlier Dawn report, on 28 September, when its London embassy rejected speculation about a bomb scare near RAF Fairford.
