Two American officials told Reuters on Tuesday that the United States had withdrawn its "B-1" strategic bombers from RAF Fairford air base in Britain.
According to the officials, the decision came due to security concerns over a plot suspected of being linked to Iran, aimed at carrying out a complex drone attack on the base.
The two officials noted that information related to the plot is still being evaluated, without disclosing additional details about the full nature or source of the threat.
For its part, Tehran denied any connection to the alleged plot, while the British government and the US Department of Defense have not issued any further official comment on the report so far.
