US removes B-1 bombers from UK base over Iran ‘terror plot’, expert exposes ‘vulnerabilities’: What we know so far
A dozen B-1 bombers had been stationed at Fairford, northwest of London, and were used in US strikes on Iran.
The United States has withdrawn all B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK, following the arrest of five men suspected of plotting a terrorist attack. This move comes after aviation experts claimed the US bombers were vulnerable to drone attacks due to their open location and proximity to public areas. While the UK Prime Minister has indicated strong indications of Iranian involvement, Iran has denied any involvement in the alleged plot.
