Newspaper headlines: ‘Iran link to RAF bomb plot’ and ‘Tax rise talks at No 10’

Almost every front page is dominated by what the Telegraph suggests is an “Iran link to RAF bomb plot”. It reports five men have been arrested for “terror and explosive offences” after three suspicious vans were reported travelling towards RAF Fairford. Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the incident at the base, according to the paper. It says that in July, Iran threatened to attack the base, on the basis that anywhere used to launch strikes on Iran was a “legitimate target”. Following the incident on Sunday morning, the paper reports that RAF Fairford is on its highest state of alert, and RAF Lakenheath, which also hosts US troops, has had its threat level increased.
