The US has withdrawn all 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK following security concerns over a suspected Iran-linked terror plot targeting the base.

US officials believe a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recruited British citizens to target the bombers and kill personnel, although some British officials have questioned how sophisticated the plot was.

RAF Fairford served as a hub for American bomber strikes in Iran. The B-1s have now returned to their US home stations and remain available for global missions.
