US withdraws bombers from Fairford due to threat of attack

The US withdrew its bombers from the Fairford RAF base partly due to a report regarding a possible Iranian drone attack: NBC claims this, citing American officials. The two officials could not say whether the threat was imminent.

A third official said the US can deploy bombers from anywhere, so, out of an abundance of caution, it made sense to move them. Yesterday Donald Trump confirmed the "threats" that led to the decision to withdraw US bombers from the base in Gloucestershire.
