  "account": "The United States has withdrawn its long-range bombers from a military base in Britain due to concerns over a potential Iranian drone attack. According to the Wall Street Journal, US and European officials reported urgent concerns about a complex attack planned by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The planned attack aimed to target the planes and personnel at RAF Fairford, including US pilots. US President Donald Trump confirmed there had been threats, but did not specify details, saying only that the bombers had been relocated. Around a dozen B-1 bombers were withdrawn over the weekend based on intelligence suggesting a possible Iranian drone attack.",
  "summary": "The US had relocated some of its bombers to Britain because of the Iran war - and now recalled them. US media report why.",
