🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇷⚡️ — NYT, citing U.S. officials briefed on the information, reports U.S. military commanders initially received information from American and other Western intelligence agencies in mid-September that RAF Fairford, England was the target of a potential Iran-backed strike.

The warnings were vague, synthesized through informants and intercepted communications. Authorities did not have a date nor specific details.

RAF Fairford raised its alert level in response, and local residents reported unusual activity at the base indicating assets were being moved around for greater protection.
