Washington (Monitoring Desk): The United States has relocated military aircraft from another airbase in the United Kingdom to safer locations amid concerns over a potential security threat linked to Iran.
The US military has moved several refuelling aircraft to Germany and other locations, while security measures have been further tightened at two key American airbases in the UK.
According to the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal and news agency Reuters, the operation took place at the Royal Air Force base in Mildenhall, England. The decision to relocate the aircraft was made after US officials received information about a potential threat related to Iran.
The report stated that two US Air Force refuelling aircraft were moved to Germany, while additional aircraft were subsequently transferred to various secure locations.
It is worth mentioning that the primary purpose of these aircraft is to refuel other military planes during flight, enabling fighter jets to carry out aerial operations over longer distances.
