US prosecutors allege that three Iran-backed suspects were involved in attack plots, including a major incident targeting RAF Fairford. Separately, US military aircraft were reportedly relocated from a second British airbase following Iranian threats, after earlier withdrawals from RAF Fairford. The allegations and precautionary deployments come amid an ongoing confrontation involving Iran and the United States, increasing concern about attacks on military facilities and possible escalation across Europe and the Middle East.
