The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials, that Washington has withdrawn B-1 bombers from the British base at Fairford due to security concerns. A U.S. official indicated a plot linked to Iran to attack the bombers and kill personnel at the Fairford base.

The report suggests a specific threat against U.S. assets in the UK, allegedly orchestrated by Iran. The withdrawal of the B-1 bombers is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
