LondonPolice arrested a British-Iranian man, 27, on terrorism suspicion.
The prime minister links Iran to Fairford, but police cite only a line of inquiry.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi denied involvement, telling London it is “barking up the wrong tree.”
Andy Burnham has promised an update, but police have not said what the five bailed men planned.
