U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said today (5th) that there is no direct connection between the United States' withdrawal of B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom and Iran's suspected premeditated terrorist attack on the air base last week.

"Reuters" reported that when asked by reporters about the deployment of B-1 bombers by the U.S. military, Rubio replied: "I would not directly link that matter to the decisions made. The War Department often reallocates needed resources."

The US military originally had 12 B-1 bombers stationed in the UK, but all have now flown out. A NATO military source said: "Iran is still believed to pose a serious threat to US military assets in the UK."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi posted a message on the X platform, denying that Iran is related to the Fairford Royal Air Force Base incident: "I can confirm Iran's position. The release of terrorists who are said to be working for foreign countries explains everything. You have completely found the wrong person."

In the early morning of September 27, five British men in their 20s were seen fleeing into a field from three white vans parked near the base. Although the five people were arrested afterwards, the police only found some gasoline and no explosives at the scene.

The five suspects were later released on bail. Four days later, the British police arrested a British-Iranian dual national man suspected of planning terrorist acts, but he was also released on bail.
