Mildenhall:The US military has evacuated its refueling aircraft from the Royal Air Force's Mildenhall airbase in eastern England due to a threat attributed to Iran. This action marks the second evacuation of US aircraft from a UK base within a month.
According to Maan News Agency, the Wall Street Journal reported that the evacuation comes after intelligence suggested a possible Iranian plan to attack the base. Previously, Washington evacuated strategic bombers from another UK base following similar threats.
This development raises security concerns for US forces stationed in Europe, as tensions between the United States and Iran continue. The recent evacuation from Mildenhall follows the earlier removal of 12 strategic bombers from Fairford base last month.
Additionally, suspicions have arisen regarding the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's involvement in planning attacks on aircraft and targeting American crew members. Alleged arrests have been made of suspects believed to have been directed by individuals linked to Iranian intelligence.
