U.S. Pulls Bombs Out of RAF Fairford After New Warnings of an Iranian-Backed Plot Targeting the Base
The U.S. rushed over the weekend to pull all 12 of its B-1 bombers out of RAF Fairford in southern England after commanders reportedly received new warnings of an Iran-backed plot targeting the base. American bombers have flown from the base during the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The evacuation was so urgent that some bombers and their crews took off before refueling tankers had the chance to support their flights home. At least three planes had landed at their base in South Dakota by Sunday. It comes one week after British police arrested five men who were driving white vans near RAF Fairford. The men were released on bail the next day after authorities found no explosives in the vans.
