英国首相安迪·伯纳姆指责伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）几乎可以肯定指导了一起针对英国皇家空军费尔福德基地的疑似阴谋，该基地是美军轰炸机在针对伊朗的军事行动中使用的英国空军基地。这一指控使伦敦与德黑兰之间的紧张局势大幅升级，英国政府威胁将对伊朗及其强大的安全部队实施进一步制裁。
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of almost certainly directing a suspected plot targeting RAF Fairford, which is a British air base used by US bombers during military operations against Iran. The accusation is a big escalation in tensions between London and Tehran, with the UK government threatening further sanctions against Iran and its powerful security force.
周一在议会发表讲话时，伯纳姆表示，英国当局认为该疑似行动是在伊朗策划的。事件触发大规模安全响应，9月27日，五名英国男子在英格兰西南部该基地附近因涉嫌恐怖主义和爆炸物罪名被捕。
“我可以确认，我们的评估认为，这极有可能是在伊朗策划的，几乎可以肯定是由伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队指导的，”伯纳姆在议会表示。
Addressing Parliament on Monday, Burnham said British authorities believed the suspected operation had been coordinated from Iran. The incident triggered a major security response after five British men were arrested near the base in southwest England on September 27 on suspicion of terrorism and explosives offences."I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard," Burnham told Parliament.RAF FAIRFORD IN SPOTLIGHTRAF Fairford, located in Gloucestershire in southwest England, is a British military base used by the US Air Force.
英国皇家空军费尔福德基地成焦点位于英格兰西南部格洛斯特郡的英国皇家空军费尔福德基地是一座由美军使用的英国军事基地。因美军轰炸机曾从该基地起飞在中东冲突中对伊朗实施打击，该基地成为安全关注的焦点。美国官员告诉路透社，调查人员正在调查一起涉及可能对该基地实施无人机袭击的疑似阴谋。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普也表示，与伊朗有关的威胁促使轰炸机从该设施撤离。
It became a focus of security concerns after being used by American bombers to carry out strikes on Iran during the conflict in the Middle East. US officials told news agency Reuters that investigators were examining a suspected plot involving a possible drone attack on the base. US President Donald Trump also said a threat linked to Iran had prompted the withdrawal of bombers from the facility.
安全警报引发了对支持针对伊朗行动的军事设施脆弱性的担忧，即使这些设施位于冲突核心区之外。
The security alert has raised concerns about the vulnerability of military installations supporting operations against Iran, even when they are located outside the immediate conflict zone.
据报道，警方在接到基地附近有可疑活动报案后实施逮捕，在与这五名男子相关的货车中发现了汽油，但未发现可用的爆炸物。
The arrests took place after suspicious activity was reported near the base. Police found petrol in vans associated with the five men, but no viable explosives were discovered, according to reports.
嫌疑人随后在严格条件下获准警方保释。另有两名男子因涉嫌与该调查有关而被捕，其中包括一名英伊双重国籍公民。他们也已获释，而对涉嫌阴谋的调查仍在继续。目前案件中尚未确认任何指控。伊朗要求提供证据德黑兰强烈拒绝英国的指控，辩称政府应当提供证据，而非公开将责任归咎于伊朗。据伊朗国家通讯社伊通社报道，伊朗驻英国大使赛义德·阿里·穆萨维表示：“德黑兰未参与此事，如果英国政府掌握任何文件或证据支持其指控，应当拿出来。”
英国内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德向议会表示，据信一名居住在伊朗的知名人士是该事件的幕后主使，但她未透露该人身份。
The suspects were subsequently released on police bail under strict conditions. Two other men were also arrested in connection with the investigation, including a British-Iranian national. They too have been released, while inquiries into the suspected plot continue. No charges have been confirmed in the case.IRAN DEMANDS EVIDENCETehran has strongly rejected Britain's accusations, arguing that the government should provide evidence rather than publicly attribute responsibility to Iran. Iran's Ambassador to Britain, Seyed Ali Mousavi, said, according to Iran's state news agency IRNA: "Tehran has had no involvement in this matter, and if the British government possesses any documents or evidence to support its claims, it should present them,"British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told Parliament that a known individual based in Iran was believed to be behind the incident, although she did not identify the person.
伯纳姆表示，英国将动用法律和金融权力，打击其所谓的在英国境内运作的与伊朗有关联的犯罪网络。
Burnham said Britain would use its legal and financial powers to disrupt what it described as Iranian-linked criminal networks operating on British soil."
“我们绝不容忍这些威胁在我们的土地上发生，”伯纳姆说。“我们将严厉打击伊朗利用犯罪网络的行为，动用我们全部权力针对它们及其资金来源，并将实施进一步制裁，限制伊朗和伊斯兰革命卫队危害我们的能力。”
We will not tolerate these threats on our soil," Burnham said. "We will crack down on Iran's use of criminal networks, using our full range of powers to target them and their funding streams, and we will bring further sanctions to restrict the capacity of Iran and the IRGC to do us harm."
英国政府此前曾指控伊朗利用犯罪网络和中间人，在英国针对个人实施威胁，包括涉嫌暗杀和绑架阴谋。
The British government has previously accused Iran of using criminal networks and intermediaries to pursue threats against individuals in the UK, including alleged assassination and kidnapping plots.
德黑兰一再否认此类指控。7月，英国推出禁止支持伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）以及组织“哈拉卡特·阿沙布·亚明·伊斯兰尼耶”（HAYI）的措施，该组织声称对犹太人和以色列社区相关地点以及波斯语媒体的袭击负责。英国外交大臣埃德·米利班德还召见了伊朗大使，而伦敦宣布对两名伊朗公民实施制裁：英国认定为伊斯兰革命卫队反间谍行动负责人的鲁霍拉·巴兹甘迪，以及其描述为受制裁的辛达什蒂犯罪网络协助者的沙赫拉姆·阿里·雷扎·塔马尔扎德赫·贾基。
Tehran has repeatedly denied such accusations. In July, Britain introduced measures banning support for the IRGC and the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), which has claimed responsibility for attacks on locations linked to Jewish and Israeli communities and Persian-language media. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has also summoned the Iranian ambassador, while London announced sanctions against two Iranian nationals: Ruhollah Bazghandi, whom Britain identified as the IRGC's head of counterespionage operations, and Shahram Ali Reza Tamarzadeh Jakki, whom it described as a facilitator for the sanctioned Zindashti criminal network.WESTERN ALLIES CONDEMN IRANIAN ACTIVITIESThe allegations have also drawn a response from Britain's international allies.
西方盟国谴责伊朗活动这些指控也引发了英国国际盟友的回应。包括澳大利亚、奥地利、比利时、保加利亚、加拿大、克罗地亚、捷克共和国、丹麦、爱沙尼亚、芬兰、法国、德国、希腊、匈牙利、爱尔兰、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、卢森堡、荷兰、新西兰、挪威、葡萄牙、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚、西班牙、瑞典、英国和美国在内的29个国家的外交部谴责他们所称的伊朗使用暴力袭击的行为，包括所谓的致命阴谋、纵火、破坏和网络攻击。
Foreign ministries from 29 countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, condemned what they described as Iran's use of violent attacks, including alleged lethal plots, arson, sabotage and cyberattacks."
声明称：“英国也得出结论，此次事件表明伊斯兰革命卫队继续愿意通过隐蔽网络和代理人将敌对活动投射到其边界之外。”最新进展加剧了伊朗与西方政府之间的紧张局势，此前伊朗、美国和以色列之间的冲突已经导致双方关系恶化。- 完毕（附有通讯社稿件）
The UK has also concluded this event demonstrates the IRGC's continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors," the statement said. The latest developments add to tensions between Iran and Western governments following the conflict involving Iran, the US and Israel.- EndsWith inputs from agencies
