U.S. Withdraws Bombers from UK Base After Suspected Terror Plot Linked to Iran
The U.S. Air Force has withdrawn all B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK following a suspected terror plot linked to the base. British authorities arrested several men, including a dual British-Iranian national, in connection with the alleged plot, which UK officials have linked to Iran, though Tehran denies involvement. The bombers had been used in strikes against Iran, and the withdrawal reflects heightened security concerns amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. Investigations into the plot are ongoing, with suspects released on bail.
