Yeah, that’s a good point. I assumed Russia because they have the pre-existing spy / subversives network and we have been being warned for months they have plans, but the Iranians also have good cause to want to attack a joint UK/US airbase

If it were Russia they would be doing this by some foreign proxy team. Also explosives doesn’t seem Russia’s style. I am also learning towards Iran or some anti-zionist agency. Iran still makes more sense.

They got released on bail!
I’m now thinking more towards anti war/Israel protestors doing a publicity stunt with little real harm, making it look big to cause a big media story. There hasn’t been anything from them though, would have expected something, very strange.

That’s seems more plausible now. I did also have a thought that perhaps the US is testing the UK abilities. But then why would they have fortified the gates and such.
