UK police are investigating a potential terrorism incident after five men were arrested near an air base used in US strikes on Iran. Sources tell Bloomberg that investigators are examining possible Iranian state involvement, although they caution that the motive remains unclear. President Donald Trump says the suspects were “looking to do big damage” to the facility. UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting told Bloomberg’s Caroline Hepker that, while he can’t comment on the specific case, there is no doubt that the Iranian regime poses a threat to the UK and its allies. Streeting also shared his thoughts on growing Argentine rhetoric over the Falkland Islands, known as Las Malvinas in Argentina. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.l
