YES if the UK government issues an explicit on-the-record public statement attributing the 5 November 2026 hoax bomb threats affecting European airlines and airports to Iran, otherwise NO. • Only statements issued from November 5, 2026 count. • Statements issued no later than 21:46 on November 12, 2026 (inclusive) count. • The statement must explicitly use the word "Iran" or "Iranian", refer to the "Iranian state", or name a clearly "Iran-linked" actor. Vague references to a "foreign actor" do not count. • Source: UK government. Reporting by two or more independent reputable news organizations (for example BBC, Reuters, AP, The Guardian, Financial Times) is also accepted as evidence.

How markets are built and settledA diplomatic incident cannot be taken lightly, especially when dealing with an oil-exporting country; it would be crazy to interfere in what does not concern us.
I think they will target Russia again. No reason for them to blame Iran for this. Interest rates and energy prices are rising sharply. Europe will survive and will blame Russia to absolve the weakness of the EU.
No, because they found that it's the Russians.
No
Given the context of heightened tensions, I expect the UK will explicitly link the bomb threats to Iran. The political pressure to address threats publicly is strong and should lead to a clear statement.
