The embassy said the claims were âunfounded and maliciousâ and criticised British individuals and media outlets for attempting to link Iran to the incident at RAF Fairford.
The embassy also threatened legal action to âsafeguard the rights and interests of the country and its peopleâ over what it described as misleading and damaging media reports.
Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the governmentâs âproscriptionâ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.
More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for âterrorâ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.
Streeting begins by addressing the terror probe related to an incident at RAF Fairford yesterday.
He says he can‘t provide much further detail than that already reported – but talks up the strength of the UK-US alliance.
„Our friendship with America is the closest alliance of any two nations on Earth, and we will always stand together against those who hate our freedom and those who wish us harm,“ he says.
„What we saw yesterday from our security services, our armed forces and our police was just a small glimpse of the extraordinary work they do everyday.“

Statement of the Foreign Ministers of Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK on the Two-State Solution
1. The Government of Israelâs actions in the West Bank are undermining the possibility of a two-State solution. The situation is rapidly deteriorating amid unprecedented levels of settler violence and settlement expansion, including the unacceptable decision to publish tenders for the E1 settlement project. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the President of France Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney have agreed on the need to take action to prevent further damage.
Today, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK confirm their intention to introduce national and/or support European restrictions on trade in goods with settlements which are illegal under international law, or that they are actively considering these and other measures, in accordance with their national procedures. In this regard, the UK, France and Canada welcome the important action already taken by Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium and will bring forward national measures to ban trade in settlement goods.

U.K. Foreign Minister Ed Miliband said the British sanctions would target specific companies and individuals who provide services including construction, infrastructure, financing or real estate for settlement expansion, as well as sanctions against individual settlers accused of violence against Palestinians.
„The set of measures I have announced represents a clear message to the government of Israel, to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, and to the world that we will not acquiesce in the destruction of the two-state solution,“ Miliband said.

Full hearing
Start date

5 November 2026
The UK Supreme Court has confirmed it will hear an appeal by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori challenging the governmentâs proscription of the group as a terrorist organization. The hearing is scheduled for November 4-5.
The legal battle stems from the Home Secretaryâs decision in July 2025 to ban Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000.
âDeep in my heart I do believe, Gaza will be free someday,â sang protesters, as another group sitting in a peaceful and silent demonstration outside Bristol Prison were arrested for holding signs in support of Palestine Action.
14 protesters were carted into police vans on Thursday morning for holding signs in support of the pro-Palestinian group, which remains a proscribed organisation in the UK, meaning showing support for it is illegal.
Over the past few years, I came to the conclusion that Great Britain was worldâs chief arsonist of peace and suggested that if, the City of London, with its supporting structures in British government, banking, intelligence, secret diplomacy, along with a vast network of think tanks, media organizations, NGOs, charitable organizations and gambling casinos around the world could somehow be quarantined, probably 95% of all the worldâs wars and other problems would vanish overnight.
In den letzten Jahren bin ich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass GroĂbritannien der weltweit gröĂte Friedensstörer ist. Wenn es gelĂ€nge, die Londoner City mit ihren StĂŒtzpfeilern in der britischen Regierung, im Bankwesen, im Geheimdienst, in der geheimen Diplomatie sowie mit einem riesigen Netzwerk aus Thinktanks, Medienorganisationen, NGOs, WohltĂ€tigkeitsorganisationen und Spielkasinos auf der ganzen Welt irgendwie unter QuarantĂ€ne zu stellen, wahrscheinlich 95 % aller Kriege und anderen Probleme der Welt ĂŒber Nacht verschwinden wĂŒrden.
How has Palestine Action responded to the ruling?
In a statement read by a representative following the ruling, Palestine Actionâs Ammori said the group will challenge the judgement in the UKâs Supreme Court.
âWe will fight this all the way. We will seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court and, if need be, take this to the European Court of Human Rights,â Ammori said.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), established by the Council of Europe, allows individuals to hold member states accountable for rights violations through a dedicated court. When the ECHR finds a violation, its judgements are legally binding on the state concerned under the European Convention on Human Rights.
âWe will not stop fighting to overturn one of the most extreme attacks on free speech and the right to protest in modern British history,â Ammori added.
âThis unprecedented abuse of power has devastated the lives of thousands of people while silencing dissent over Israelâs slaughter of the Palestinian people during the genocide, when that dissent could not be more urgent.â
(today)
The government‘s proscription of Palestine Action as a terror organisation is lawful, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
In one of the most significant rulings on national security in recent years, five of the most senior judges in the country overturned an earlier decision from the High Court that the ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers.
But five Court of Appeal judges concluded in a hearing on Monday that the ban had been „justified and proportionate“.

A report relied on by the prosecution at Fridayâs sentencing hearing said the raid on the factory had caused ÂŁ1.2m of damage, including to 41 military assets. The report referred to ÂŁ395,056 of damage to six units in an unnamed drone system as well as damage to other unmanned aerial vehicles.
Mr Justice Johnson told the four they had participated in a âcarefully planned and highly sophisticated attackâ, adding: âThe fact that you were trying to shut down a company that you thought was acting unlawfully does not reduce the seriousness of the offence.â

Dozens of Labour Party lawmakers called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign on Monday, effectively rejecting their leaderâs efforts to quell a mutiny in the party ranks and raising the likelihood of a bruising leadership battle.
Mr. Starmer began the day with a speech he hoped would quiet the brewing rebellion, acknowledging the anger expressed by voters last week when they overwhelmingly rejected Labour Party candidates in elections across England, Scotland and Wales.

New research published by Cratus Group reveals a seismic shift in political allegiances across East London, with the Labour Partyâs traditional âsafe territoryâ under threat from unprecedented voter volatility and a deepening trust deficit.
The report, The Battle for the East End, based on bespoke polling by Focaldata, examines voter sentiment in Newham, Redbridge, and Barking & Dagenham. The findings paint a stark picture of an electorate increasingly disillusioned with political institutions.
Keir Starmer is facing a surge of public discontent, with a new poll indicating that a clear majority of voters believe he should step down, while many are also calling for a fresh general election.
The findings point to a sharp collapse in support, not only among the wider electorate but within Labourâs own ranks. A significant share of those who backed the party in the 2024 general election now say the Prime Minister should resign.
The Public First research for Politico found that more than half (53%) of the UK public now view America as a negative force globally, up from 35% in December.
At the same time, the proportion of voters who think the States plays a positive role in the world has slumped from 41% to 29%.
The poll of 2,000 people was carried out between April 3 and 7, around five weeks into the US and Israelâs bombing campaign in Iran.
