  "account": "US President Donald Trump revealed on Monday that the United States had moved its bombers out of RAF Fairford due to threats targeting the base. The Pentagon confirmed the removal of the bombers, believed to be around a dozen B-1s, back to their home stations in America. Trump explained during a press conference on Monday that they were aware of a threat which prompted the decision to relocate the bombers. Earlier, a spokesperson for No 10 had insisted that RAF Fairford was safe, referencing Trump's earlier praise for UK police, defense, and security services. The exact nature of the threat that led to the removal of the bombers remains unclear, though sources in Washington speculated it might have involved sabotage attempts or strikes on sensitive aircraft in case of resumed hostilities with Iran.",
