What we know and don’t know about how Iran uses asymmetric warfare
Summary
Britain and the United States have suggested Iran may be behind two recent security incidents, but no confirmed evidence has emerged. Tehran denies involvement as investigations continue into arrests near an RAF base in England and an attack on an Israel-bound FlyDubai flight.
Key Points
- Britain and the United States have suggested, without evidence, that Iran may be connected to two major security incidents this week.
- No confirmed link to Iran has been established in the arrests near RAF Fairford or in the cockpit attack on an Israel-bound plane.
- Iran denies involvement and has asked Britain for an official explanation over the air-base arrests.
- The incidents, if linked to Tehran, would reflect Iran’s long-running strategy of asymmetric warfare against stronger adversaries.
