U.S. B-1 bombers evacuated from UK base because of threat of Iranian drone attack

The U.S. military evacuated a dozen B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK over the weekend due to a threat from Iran, the Pentagon said. President Trump confirmed the threat, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio initially downplayed the link, citing regular rotations. Trump later contradicted Rubio, saying the bombers were moved because of an Iranian security threat.
