The United States withdrew its B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford, a British air base located near the suspected center of a terror plot involving five arrested men. This action occurred one week after the arrests, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham suggesting the plot was likely backed by Iran. The bombers had previously been stationed at the base, which had recently been used for US strikes on Iran.

Key points

• The United States removed its B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford one week after five men were arrested nearby on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
• British Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that the suspected plot was likely backed by Iran.
