The U.S. has withdrawn all 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK following security concerns over a suspected Iran-linked terror plot targeting the base.

U.S. officials believe a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recruited UK nationals to target the bombers and kill personnel, though some British officials have questioned how sophisticated the plot was.

RAF Fairford had been used as a hub for launching U.S. bomber strikes in Iran. The B-1s have now returned to their home stations in the U.S. and remain available for global missions.
