According to the South China Morning Post, the US Air Force has withdrawn its bombers from a US-run military airbase in England that had been used to conduct strikes against Iran, subsequent to an investigation into a planned terror attack at the RAF Fairford base.

A Pentagon official, speaking anonymously on Sunday because they were not authorized to discuss sensitive military movements, stated that the bombers had been redeployed back to their home bases within the United States.

Aviation observers, including the Military Air Tracking Alliance, had noted the operation of numerous B-52 and B-1 bombers departing from RAF Fairford since the commencement of the Iran war. Observers also noted a significant number of B-1 bombers flying out of the base on Sunday.

This action occurs while US President Donald Trump is considering various options for his war on Iran, which includes potential new strikes, despite earlier assurances made to Americans that the campaign would only last a few weeks.

Britain has connected the incident from the previous week to Tehran, though Iran has denied any involvement.
