Trump says US moved bombers from UK base after 'threats'

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the United States had withdrawn all B-1 bombers from a British airbase, RAF Fairford, due to unspecified threats believed to be linked to Iran. While the British government insisted the site was safe, Trump told reporters at the White House that there were indeed threats, and they wanted to avoid tempting the enemy.

Five suspects were arrested at the base after a local farmer reported suspicious activity, but all have since been released on bail. Speculation about the incident's motives ranged from terror threats to fuel theft, with Iran denying any involvement. The incident occurred after officers were alerted to suspicious activity by one of the initial suspects.
