At least 10 U.S. Air Force refuelling tankers left a second airbase in Britain on Monday, with one outlet reporting an undisclosed threat from Iran forced the departure.
The evacuation comes weeks after the U.S. withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford airbase over a suspected Iran-linked security incident, as Breitbart News reported. Flight tracking data seen and reported by BBC Verify shows the aircraft left RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and landed at other American bases in Europe and also at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire.
The Wall Street Journal reported this was in response to a threat from Iran.
