The Wall Street Journal announced the second wave of the withdrawal of US military aircraft from Britain following Iran's threats.

The Wall Street Journal reported, citing "people in the know," that the US military evacuated its aircraft from the second air base in Britain on Monday (November 9) following the threat from Iran.

This is despite the fact that last month the United States withdrew its bombers from the British air base Farford due to a security incident related to Iran.

Two US military refueling planes using Mildhall Air Force Base in Suffolk County in eastern Britain flew to Germany early Monday, while several other refueling planes at the base were moved to Germany and other destinations later in the day, the Wall Street Journal reported.

According to the release, the exact nature of the threat against the Mildhall base is still being debated among US officials. A spokesman for the British Ministry of Defense said: "We do not refer to the activities of other countries. Aircraft and other assets are constantly moved according to "operational requirements".

The Pentagon and the United States European Command have not commented on it so far.
