Police did not detect explosives in vans found near Royal Air Force Fairford, adding uncertainty around a suspected terrorism plot.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead on the same core claim from the U.K. that Iran is believed to have played a part in the air base incident. CBS News focuses on the prime minister’s statement, while the Washington Post adds the only extra framing in its extract: police did not detect explosives in the vans, which it says leaves uncertainty around a suspected terrorism plot.
