Twelve US B-1B Bombers Leave British Base Amid Threat Claims

Twelve B-1B bombers left RAF Fairford for the US on Sunday. Fairford is the US Air Force's only heavy-bomber base in Europe and has supported strikes on Iran since Feb. 28. President Trump pointed to threats tied to Iran; Secretary Rubio called the departure a routine rotation. The gap between those explanations will shape where bombers are based next.
