Five men in their early 20s were arrested on suspicion of terrorism near the base in the early hours of September 27 after cops were alerted to three “suspicious vehicles”. Fairford was home to a number of Trump’s B-1 bombers at the time which have been involved in bombing missions over Iran . Experts say this could have been why the base was targeted. Responding to the security breach fears, Trump pulled all of his American bombers from the base over fears of an Iranian attack. Advertisement The US president said there were “some threats” but US officials could not comment on whether they were imminent. Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, said he didn’t view the breach as the only reason why the US withdrew the bombers from RAF Fairford. RECOMMENDED STORIES US Vice-President JD Vance added that the decision was taken “out of an abundance of caution” over suspected Iranian plots. The RAF only realised the bombers were on the move when the US Air Force crews of the departing B-1B Lancer bombers logged flight plans with air traffic control. 1 comment 1
