Summary
British police maintained a cordon near RAF Fairford on Tuesday after releasing on bail five men arrested in connection with a possible terrorist attack at the base, used by U.S. forces for strikes on Iran. Investigators are examining possible foreign links; Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the incident involved a foreign state, a claim not confirmed by police. President Trump said he was "surprised" the men were released, saying, "I would've said don't let them have bail."
