5 men have been arrested near the RAF base at Fairford, southern England. The men are suspected of explosives offences and terrorism offences. The base is also used by the USAF.

An Iranian-linked motive is considered the most likely, a source familiar with the investigation said, while a Russian sabotage operation or an Islamist plot were also being looked at.
Britain said in July its armed forces were ready to protect the country from any attack after Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned it not to allow US bombers to fly from Fairford, saying any base used to launch attacks would be a legitimate target.

Why Iran attacks Fujairah but spares Sohar (and the risks ahead for Oman)
The Breakdown:



1790598284706.png

  • Fujairah (UAE) is a target: The UAE is a direct geopolitical rival to Iran and a close Western ally. Fujairah hosts a major pipeline built specifically to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. By targeting this port with drones and missiles, Iran sends a clear message: no regional oil export route is safe outside the chokepoint.





1790598385719.png

  • Sohar (Oman) is safe: Oman acts as the "Switzerland of the Middle East." It stays strictly neutral and serves as the vital diplomatic bridge between Tehran and the West. Iran will not attack Sohar because destroying Omani infrastructure means losing its most important back-channel diplomatic lifeline.




Future Risks for Oman’s Sohar Region:
While safe from missiles for now, Sohar faces severe long-term threats:

  • Geopolitical Pressure: As Western powers and Gulf neighbors push Oman to take a firmer stance against Iran, maintaining strict neutrality will become harder. If Sohar is perceived as aiding Iran's rivals during a major escalation, its "diplomatic immunity" could vanish.

  • Shadow Warfare: The high volume of ship-to-ship oil transfers off Sohar's coast opens the door to stray drone strikes, cyber sabotage, or accidental maritime disasters that could ruin its reputation as a safe Haven.

The Iranian military reported the capture of US Remus 600 underwater drones and a Dive-LD underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz. The Remus 600 underwater drone is used for reconnaissance and mine countermeasures; it can operate at depths of up to 600 meters for as long as 70 hours. The Dive-LD belongs to the class of large unmanned underwater vehicles, with a gross weight approaching three tons. Its design features a 3D-printed hull, yet the vehicle is capable of diving to depths of approximately 6,000 meters. Depending on the specific configuration, the Dive-LD can remain at sea for about ten days.

because then isreal/usa will also apply the gaza model to iran. They spent 50 years barking for a war but truthfully never prepared for it in any meaningful manner. I don't even think they had any war plans drawn up for isreal.

They are not able to do this to Iran. USA wants to quit Iran war as soon as possible. The main targets are Russia and China. A long lasting war with Iran is a nightmare for USA and a mission impossible for Israel.

yes yes, they are leaving the middle east..... pivot to the east they kept calling it.

I wonder if iran believed all this pivot to the east bullshit before the isrealis and americans started attacking them directly. Hopefully us Turks are not as naïve.

As long their project isreal remains in the region, western military power whether under the banner of the USA, or Isreal will continue to escalate and escalate until the entire middle east is subdued.

Iran regime is totally like Putin. Trump offered them an excellent peace deal, but rejected it for no reason.

-> Attacks twice during the negotiations.
-> Kills the head of the state and spiritual leader alongside with his entire family, including children.
-> Tries to start a massive rebellion to overthrow the regime.
-> Prepares Iraqi Kurds for years for a land invasion to divide the country.
-> Fails miserably.
-> Calls out Iranians for not accepting a deal (that they will not obey anyways).

Israeli level of delusion and lack of awareness.

Iranian regime started a war with both US and Israel for no reason murdering 1000 Americans and thousands Israelis.

They created uncounted sectarian militias in Iraq, which led to civil war with hundreds of thousands killed.

They supported brutal suppression people in Syria, which led to 600,000 killed and 13 million refugees. And eventually miserably failed.

They supported sectarian militias in Lebanon, which led to several destructive wars and miserable defeat it their militias.

They support sectarian militias in Yemen which led to civil war with nearly 400,000 killed.

They spend hundreds of billions on missiles and terror while their own people are in poverty. When people protest against it they slaughter and torture them mercilessly.

They were offered an excellent deal which would lead to peace and prosperity. Instead they were just prolonging time and meanwhile building thousands or ballistic rockets and enriching uranium. Now their ballistic and nuclear programs are largely destroyed.

They decided to block Hormuz and as result now the biggest losers are themselves, Because other countries pass with some dificulties while Iranians are blocked.

Why are you saying these? Did I say Iran never commited crimes or something?

I was just explaining the reasons of why Iran wouldn't accept a deal. It obviously is not "for no reason".

Why do you expect them to trust you while you killed their supreme leader during the negotiations? Would you trust Iran and accept a deal if things were reverse?

Neither US not Israel are interested in conflict with Iran. "Supreme leader" was a sadistic murderer who murdered more than a million people (99.9% Muslim). Trump thought that if we take out him and some of his IRGC friend a new leadership will be more sensible and make a deal. Like it happened in Venezuela.

He offered them a good deal. They even signed it. But then they decided to break it for no reason.
