IRAN-LINKED THREAT: US Pulls Aircraft from Second Airbase RAF Mildenhall In Britain| Times Now World

A fresh security scare has hit a US military base in Britain. The United States has reportedly evacuated several aircraft from RAF Mildenhall following a potential threat linked to Iran. According to the Wall Street Journal, two American aerial refueling tankers diverted to Germany on Monday, while several other tankers were moved to Germany and other locations later in the day. The alert extends beyond Mildenhall. Washington has reportedly raised security levels at both RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath to Force Protection Condition Charlie, the second highest threat level in the U.S. military's security system, indicating that intelligence points to a likely terrorist action. The development comes just weeks after another security scare at RAF Fairford, raising fresh concerns over the safety of American military installations in Britain. In September, five men were arrested outside RAF Fairford, followed by the arrests of two others on suspicion of assisting Iranian intelligence. On October 20th, counter-terrorism police re-arrested two men, aged 24 and 25, under Britain's National Security Act. The incident prompted Washington to withdraw its B-1 bombers from Fairford, a base previously used for American strikes against Iran. The concerns come against the backdrop of an earlier warning from Iran's Revolutionary Guards, which declared that RAF Fairford and any other base used to launch attacks against Iran would be legitimate targets. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham also said the activity at Fairford was likely to have been coordinated in Iran. But the latest threat remains shrouded in uncertainty. The British Ministry of Defence said it does not routinely comment on other nations' military activity, adding that aircraft move regularly according to operational requirements. The US Air Force also said its aircraft rotate between installations for various reasons. Neither Washington nor London has publicly confirmed that the latest evacuation was prompted by an Iranian threat. With American military assets being moved from another British base, questions are mounting over whether the security concerns are isolated incidents or part of a wider threat to US military infrastructure in Europe.
