  "account": "The U.S. Air Force has removed all its bombers from the RAF Fairford air base in England, where they were previously deployed to strike Iran. This move follows an investigation into a suspected terror attack at the base. The bombers were transferred back to their home bases in the United States, according to a Pentagon official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Aviation experts have noted the presence of numerous B-52 and B-1 bombers operating from RAF Fairford since the beginning of the Iran war. The decision to remove the bombers comes amid President Donald Trump's consideration of various options for his war on Iran, which has been ongoing for several weeks. A dual British-Iranian national was arrested in central London last week, suspected of plotting the terror attack at RAF Fairford. Six individuals have been arrested and later released on bail in connection with the investigation. British authorities have attributed the incident to Tehran, though Iran has denied involvement. The U.K. has warned that Iran could expand its targets within the United Kingdom if conflicts in the Middle East persist.",
