Axios reported, citing American officials, that the U.S. military removed 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford, a Royal Air Force base, following intelligence about a potential drone attack by the Islamic Republic.

The Wall Street Journal attributed the withdrawal of these bombers to "security concerns regarding possible attack plans on the base." Donald Trump, the President of the United States, confirmed on Monday that the bombers were removed from the base due to security threats from the Islamic Republic. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, had earlier described this transfer as part of routine Air Force movements, stating it had no direct connection to the threat from Iran.

The New York Times, in an exclusive report citing American and British officials, stated that the U.S. suddenly withdrew all 12 B-1 bombers from the RAF Fairford base in southern England after receiving new information about a potential drone attack allegedly designed by the Revolutionary Guard.

According to these officials, who requested to remain anonymous, "the potential attack is part of a complex, multi-phase plan by Iran to target American aircraft and kill a number of several hundred American forces stationed at this base. They indicated that all American bombers were withdrawn from the base over the weekend."
