Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 13th saying that it summoned British Ambassador to Iran Hugo Short on the same day to protest the British government's “unfounded” accusations that Iran is suspected of participating in the Royal Air Force's Fairford base incident. The day before, British Prime Minister Burnham said in a speech in the lower house of parliament that the Royal Air Force Fairford base incident was “very likely” to be coordinated and planned within Iran, and “almost certainly” it was directed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran.
