Trump says U.S. moved bombers from U.K. base after ‘threats’

What happened: The U.S. withdrew all 12 B-1 Air Force bombers from RAF Fairford in southern England over the weekend after commanders received information about a potential drone attack ordered by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Key numbers: 12 B-1 bombers withdrawn; several hundred U.S. Why it matters: Officials described the suspected plot as part of a complex, multipronged Iranian plan to strike aircraft and kill American personnel, and said it was loosely modeled on Ukraine's drone attack on Russian airfields.
