US Evacuates Aircraft from Second UK Base Amid Iran-Linked Threat

The US military has evacuated aircraft from RAF Mildenhall, a second UK airbase, following an Iran-linked threat, weeks after a similar withdrawal from RAF Fairford. This action, which included relocating tanker aircraft and raising the security protection level to Charlie, indicates a heightened US force-protection posture in Europe. The specific nature and credibility of the threat remain largely undisclosed, leading to medium confidence in the direct link to an immediate attack.
