US withdraws B-1 bombers from UK base amid Iran attack fears

The US has withdrawn all strategic bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK following a suspected, uncompleted drone attack and intelligence of a planned Iranian drone attack targeting the base. This force posture change is a direct response to heightened threat perception, with President Trump alleging Iranian involvement and vowing retaliation. The incident has led to multiple arrests and an ongoing investigation, though specific details of the plot and its attribution remain partially unconfirmed.
