| [IsraelTimes] The US has removed military aircraft from a base in the United Kingdom due to a threat from Iran, the Wall Street Journal reports. The report says US officials are discussing whether the threat to RAF Mildenhall is general or more specific. According to the outlet, two refueling tankers were moved to Germany yesterday morning, while other tankers and aircraft were taken to Germany and other bases over the course of the day. The report cites flight-tracking data and officials. There is no comment from the US beyond the air force stating that aircraft are moved between locations for multiple different reasons. Last month, the US Air Force removed its bombers stationed at RAF Fairford in England following an investigation into an alleged planned terror attack at the base, which was used in operations against Iran. UK officials say proxies linked to Iran have been behind a string of arson and other attacks in Britain and other countries, many of them targeting the Jewish community and intended to sow fear. They have previously warned that Tehran could expand its targets in the UK if conflicts in the Middle East continue. Earlier, US President Donald Trump said Iran was “talking very politely” with US negotiators, and there was a “good chance” a resolution can be reached to end the conflict between the two countries, adding that the war is “effectively over.” Related: Mildenhall: 2026-09-03 A US spy plane has disappeared from radar over the Barents Sea Mildenhall: 2026-08-12 Israeli intel on Iranian plot said to have spurred decision to sneak Trump off Air Force One Mildenhall: 2026-08-11 Trump used catering truck, Air Force One decoy to evade Iran threat: report Related: Fairford: 2026-11-06 ‘Nobody considered this a European problem’: Is Europe ready to stand up to Iranian threats?
