US aircraft evacuated from second UK base due to Iran threat, WSJ reports
What happened
The US military pulled aircraft out of a second British airbase, RAF Mildenhall, on Monday after an Iranian threat, the Wall Street Journal reported.
US officials are still discussing the exact nature of the threat to Mildenhall, according to the Journal.
The move follows the earlier withdrawal of US B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford over a suspected Iran-linked security incident.
Five men were arrested outside Fairford in September, and two more were later detained on suspicion of helping Iranian intelligence.
“We do not routinely comment on the activity of other nations. Aircraft and other assets move regularly according to operational requirements”
