CND and Fairford Action have announced an emergency protest at RAF Fairford, with the demonstration due to take place outside the main gate on Saturday, 25 July 2026. The protest call puts renewed attention on the Gloucestershire air base and its role in wider military operations.
The action follows reports that a US B-1 bomber stationed at RAF Fairford was involved in an attack on Iran earlier this week. The description of the protest also points to a statement from Iran’s foreign ministry, suggesting that the developments have increased concern around the base and its connection to the latest regional tensions.
For campaigners, the RAF Fairford protest is likely to center on opposition to military escalation and the use of UK-linked facilities in operations involving Iran. By organizing at short notice, CND and Fairford Action appear to be responding directly to the fast-moving events of the past few days.
The emergency gathering on 25 July is expected to focus public and media attention on RAF Fairford, the reported use of a US B-1 bomber based there, and the political fallout from the strike on Iran. With tensions already high, the protest marks an immediate domestic response to an international security flashpoint.
