US exit second UK base
At least 10 US Air Force KC-135 refuelling aircraft left RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk on Monday, with flight data showing they landed at other US bases in Europe and at Prestwick Airport in Scotland. The Wall Street Journal linked the departures to a threat from Iran, but the BBC said it could not independently verify that claim; the US Air Force cited varied operational requirements and declined to give further details. The departures follow the withdrawal of US bombers from RAF Fairford weeks earlier after a suspected Iran-linked security incident.
