The United States has removed all bombers from the US base in Raffareford, Britain. All B-1 bombers flew to America from this base on Sunday. There was speculation that Washington had taken this step out of fear of an Iranian attack. This time US President Donald Trump opened his mouth on that issue. Without naming Iran, he said, “There were some threats. The planes just didn't fly.”
Although Trump did not name Iran, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times claimed that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had hired British citizens to attack the base. It is known that in 2025, as Ukraine attacked Russia by hiding a drone inside a truck, it is planned to attack Raf Fireford in the same way. Intelligence had information that Iran was planning a large-scale attack. After the failure of the first attack, America did not take any more risks. All aircraft were quickly evacuated from there.
“There were some threats. The planes just didn't take off,” US President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday.
It is known that America used this British base in the recent attack on Iran. However, regarding the immediate evacuation of all bombers, the US Department of Defense Pentagon said in a statement on Sunday, “All US bombers deployed at Rafe Fireford have returned to their respective bases (home stations).” But no details were given as to why the planes were diverted. “The British government does not comment on the military activities of other countries,” a Downing Street spokesman told reporters. Amidst this speculation, US President Donald Trump said, “There were some threats,” while facing the media at the White House on Monday. The planes just didn't fly.”
It is to be noted that the police thwarted a terrorist attack in Raff Fireford, located in Gloucestershire, West England, a few days ago. A man from a nearby village called investigators to report three suspicious white vehicles heading towards the air force base. The army base is only one minute away from that village. The administration took immediate action. Armed police went and arrested 5 people. Explosives and chemicals were found in three vehicles. In this incident, Trump said, “We know who is behind this. They are connected to Iran.”
