"The new event describes the release of suspects on bail following arrests related to a plot targeting a US air base. Event 12 describes the initial detention of a dual national in a suspected Iranian-linked plot at RAF Fairford (a US air base in the UK). The release of suspects is a direct procedural consequence of the initial detention and investigation described in event 12."
"Event 13 involves the UK PM attributing the RAF Fairford incident to Iranian involvement. The new event mentions Iran's public denial of connection to the plot targeting a US air base in Britain. These events are parallel developments in the same diplomatic and intelligence narrative regarding the attribution of the RAF Fairford plot."
