An observant neighbor in the UK may have helped stop a suspected Iran-linked terror plot targeting a British military base, with reports suggesting the tip-off 'saved a lot of lives'. Authorities are investigating possible Iranian involvement. The case is drawing attention for its potential to avert a major attack on UK soil and for the role an ordinary civilian played in alerting security services.
