Axios learned about the threat of attack on the base of Fairford from Iran // Axios: the US withdrew bombers from Fairford due to threats from Iran

Britain’s Fairford Air Base, used by the US Air Force, was under threat of attack from Iran. This was reported by Axios, citing a US official.

Today it became known that the United States urgently withdrew from the airbase 12 of its bombers. The interlocutor of The New York Times reported that this decision was due to new security threats that worried the military leadership. Axios source said the threats came from Iran.

The United States withdrew its bombers a week after the attempted attack on the air base. On September 27, British police detained five people near the facility. They were suspected of preparing a terrorist attack and violating the provisions of the law on explosives. However, the suspects were later released on bail. The British authorities admitted that Iran could be involved in the incident.
