In the Fairford case, no operational bomb was found in England.
British officials announced that the inspection of vehicles and suspicious materials in the security case near the RAF Fairford airbase did not lead to the discovery of any operational explosive devices. Five men who were arrested on suspicion of offenses related to explosives and preparing a terrorist act have been released on bail. However, counter-terrorism police have emphasized that investigations into their motives and the possibility of connections to a foreign government are still ongoing. The British police have not yet confirmed any links between these individuals and Iran.
