Washington (US), (LaPresse/AP) — The US Air Force has recalled the bombers stationed at a US-run military airbase in England, which were being used to strike Iran, following an investigation into a planned terrorist attack at RAF Fairford. According to a Pentagon official, the bombers have been redeployed to their home bases in the United States. Aviation observers, such as the Military Air Tracking Alliance, have noted dozens of B-52 and B-1 bombers operating from RAF Fairford since the early days of the war with Iran. On Sunday, observers spotted a large group of B-1 bombers taking off from the base. The decision comes as President Donald Trump is weighing up various options for the war against Iran, including further strikes, despite his initial promises to the American people that the campaign would last only a few weeks.
