The United States military has evacuated aircraft from RAF Mildenhall in Britain following a reported threat from Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Two American refuelling tankers were diverted to Germany amid the security concerns. The move follows a similar incident at RAF Fairford in September, when five men were arrested outside the base and the US subsequently withdrew its B-1 bombers.
A British government spokesperson said aircraft and other military assets move regularly according to operational requirements.
Meanwhile, US officials are continuing to assess the nature of the reported threat to RAF Mildenhall. The Pentagon and US European Command had not immediately commented.
