The United States military evacuated a dozen B-1 bombers from the RAF Fairford airbase in the United Kingdom over the weekend. According to the Pentagon, the relocation was ordered due to attack threats from Iran and general security concerns.
The removal of the aircraft occurred one week after British security forces arrested several dual British-Iranian citizens at the base on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts. The stationed bombers had previously been used in U.S. strikes on Iran.
