英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周一表示，英格兰一处由美军运营的军用航空基地发生的安全事件“几乎肯定”是由伊朗革命卫队策划的。
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Monday a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England was “almost certainly” directed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
伯纳姆之前曾表示，有强烈迹象表明伊朗与上个月对拉夫福德皇家空军基地实施袭击的明显计划有关联，该基地一直被美军轰炸机用于在持续的战争中对伊朗进行打击。
Burnham previously said there are strong indications Iran was linked to the apparent plan last month to attack the RAF Fairford air base, which has been used by American bombers to strike Iran in the ongoing war.
警方在对所谓阴谋的调查中逮捕了七名男子，但所有嫌疑人均已获保释，目前尚无人被起诉。
Police have arrested seven men in the investigation into the alleged plot, but all suspects have been released on bail and no one has been charged so far.
“我可以确认我们的评估：此事高度可能是在伊朗策划的，几乎肯定是由伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队指挥的，”伯纳姆对立法者表示。“我们不会容忍这些威胁在我们本土上发生。”9月27日，靠近该航空基地的众多居民在武装警察和陆军爆炸物处理专家涌入该农村地区时被从家中疏散。
“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 lawmakers. “We will not tolerate these threats on our soil.”Scores of residents near the air base were evacuated from their homes on Sept. 27 as armed police officers and army bomb-disposal experts swarmed the rural area.
警方后来表示，他们在与最初五名嫌疑人相关的三辆货车中发现了一定量的助燃剂——汽油，但未发现爆炸物。

所有被逮捕的嫌疑人均为20多岁，其中六人是英国国民，一人是英伊双重国籍公民。
All the suspects arrested are in their 20s and six are British nationals while one is a dual U.K.-Iranian citizen.
周一，英国政府召见伊朗大使，表达对伊朗通过其犯罪网络、代理团体和国家支持的恶意活动继续试图破坏英国及其国际伙伴安全的不满。美国上周已从拉夫福德皇家空军基地撤出其轰炸机，特朗普政府表示认为该基地面临伊朗的威胁，意图尽可能多地杀死美军士兵和摧毁美军飞机。
On Monday, the British government summoned the Iranian ambassador to express displeasure at “Iran’s continued attempts to undermine the security of the United Kingdom and international partners through its criminal networks, proxy groups and state-backed malign activity.”The U.S. pulled its bombers from RAF Fairford last week, and the Trump administration has said it believed the base faced Iranian threats intended to kill as many American troops and destroy as many U.S. planes as possible.
