US evacuates tanker aircraft from UK bases second time amid reported Iranian threat

The US has removed tanker aircraft from Mildenhall base in England, following a similar evacuation from Fairford weeks earlier, both without official explanation. Local media attribute the moves to an 'Iranian threat', but the Pentagon has not commented. This is a notable force-posture change at NATO bases in the UK, suggesting heightened threat perception, though the specific trigger remains unconfirmed.
