Canada joins joint statement condemning Iran over suspected air base plot involving RAF Fairford

Canada joined more than two dozen countries in condemning Iran’s apparent use of violent attacks in a suspected plot targeting a U.S.-run military air base in England.

The Story

Canada is joining more than two dozen other countries in a joint statement denouncing Iran’s apparent involvement in a planned attack on an air base in England.

The countries said in the statement that they “condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s use of violent attacks.” British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Monday that a suspected terror plot at a U.S.-run military air base last month was “almost certainly” directed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

The RAF Fairford air base has been used by American bombers to strike Iran in the ongoing war. The statement also says any attempt by Iran to threaten individuals on their territory through proxies is unacceptable.

The signatories include the United States, France, Germany and Australia, among others.
