🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. Official: The Iran-linked plot against RAF Fairford was meant to kill as many US troops and destroy as many planes as possible
Hundreds of American airmen, the bombers used to strike Iran, and a base the Revolutionary Guards publicly called a “legitimate target” back in July…
A farmer’s tip about three vans led to the first arrests, and police just picked up a 22-year-old British man as the SEVENTH suspect, yet six of them already walked out on bail.
So how does a plot to kill Americans end with most of the suspects back on the street?
Pulling the B-1s saved the planes, but the airmen are still there, and if London keeps granting bail in an Iran-linked terror case, Tehran will read it as an open door.

Tonight on The Quiet Part Live: Trump’s comments about Los Angeles and San Diego trigger another White House cleanup operation, Cornell brings in an outside reviewer, and Anduril lands a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion. Apparently the national agenda is now crisis communications, campus accountability, and submarines.
At a Nebraska rally, Trump discussed Iran and the war’s economic costs before saying, “Let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego.” The White House says he was describing attacks he wants to prevent—not inviting them. Gavin Newsom blasted the remarks, and Republican congressional candidate Jim Desmond also objected. When your national-security explanation requires a next-day translation department, perhaps the delivery needs work.
Cornell trustees tapped former senior Justice Department official Sally Yates to review the university’s handling of sexual-misconduct complaints amid anger over allegations of a 2024 gang rape at a fraternity house. This is a review of Cornell’s response, not a criminal verdict. We’ll separate the institutional accountability questions from claims that newly surfaced messages have already settled the case.
In Arcadia, California, prosecutors charged Silvia Zhang and Guojun Xuan in a child-abuse investigation involving 21 children, most born through surrogates. Authorities allege the couple misled surrogate mothers, monitored abusive discipline, and tried to conceal mistreatment. Fifteen children were removed from the home last year; six others were located with relatives or friends. These are criminal allegations, and the children—not the sensational headlines—belong at the center of this story.
Anduril won a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion to boost submarine production, days after co-founder Palmer Luckey joined a Pentagon weapons initiative. The company plans a $3.7 billion Maryland shipyard investment, with operations slated for 2030. The timing raises questions about defense-tech influence, but timing alone is not proof of misconduct. Your tax dollars: now available in industrial-scale quantities.
France saw 266,000 people rally over school resources, according to government figures. Police used tear gas and water cannons, and nearly 500 people were detained Tuesday. Students want adequate classrooms and staffing; authorities cite violence and defend their response. “Invest in the future” apparently comes with a riot-control budget.
Finally, we examine Brooklyn Bridge bodycam footage of an officer trying to help a man in crisis. The confrontation ended in a police shooting and the man’s death—not a successful rescue. The video says the NYPD’s force investigation continues.
For the satire break: the Babylon Bee’s USAID “communist takeover” piece is fictional comedy, not a report of actual Democratic admissions.
From the laughable, to the believable and onto the absurd…. Wide ranging and some of it is mildly amusing today.

Christa Pike is conscious and speaking while receiving critical medical care following Tennessee’s failed attempt to execute her last week, her attorneys said Tuesday.
Pike’s prognosis remains unclear, and her lawyers said they expect her recovery to be long.
“Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care,” attorneys Randy Spivey, Kelly Gleason, Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen said in a statement.
The attorneys said Pike suffered severe injuries to her arms during the Sept. 30 execution attempt and remains handcuffed and shackled to her hospital bed. FOX 17 News has not independently verified Pike’s medical condition, injuries or the attorneys’ description of her restraints.
Pike, 50, was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. Tennessee officials administered two doses of pentobarbital during the execution attempt at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. Pike remained alive and was taken from the prison for medical treatment. She was then placed on a ventilator while she was in critical condition.
Constitutional attorney David Raybin, who helped write Tennessee’s death penalty statute, told FOX 17 News Pike can argue her constitutional rights were violated because of cruel and unusual punishment after the executition attempt.
“(She can) say, you’ve had your chance to execute me, I’ve suffered all of this, I’ve been punished by this. You can no longer execute,” said Raybin.
Pike’s attorneys last Friday in a filed in “Emergency Motion to Preserve Relevant Evidence” in Davidson County Chancery Court, before more legal action is taken. That court hearing takes place Wednesday morning.
This signals future litigation to what Pike’s attorneys describe as a constitutional violation.
Raybin weighed in.
“When a person is sentenced to death, the Eighth Amendment says that the person can be sentenced to dead, and there will be some pain associated with putting a person to death. That is part of the process. But it cannot be extraordinary, it cannot torture, it cannot prolonged. In this case, it was clear that it was prolonged,” said Raybin.
The family of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer, told FOX 17 News what Pike did to Slemmer was torturous.
Pike was convicted in 1996 for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Slemmer.
Prosecutors say Pike, who was 18 at the time, beat and stabbed Slemmer to death and took a piece of her skull.
However, attorney David Raybin says Pike is still entitled to her constitutional rights under the law and says Pike and her family could have more legal options moving forward.
“Conceptually, she and/or her family could file a civil rights lawsuit against the prison,” Raybin said.
n its statement last Wednesday night, the Tennessee Department of Correction said it followed the state’s established execution protocol, that the lethal injection chemical had “consistently been effective,” and that the protocol did not allow additional procedures beyond those carried out. The department said Pike was transported to an off-site medical facility.
Pike’s attorneys have alleged problems with IV access and the administration of the lethal drug. In Tuesday’s statement, they again said the state had been warned about challenges involving Pike’s veins before the execution attempt. Those allegations have not been independently verified.
The attorneys also renewed their request for Gov. Bill Lee to commute Pike’s sentence to life in prison without parole. The Governor did not answer FOX 17 News as to if he would.
