The United States moved all of its long-range bombers stationed in the United Kingdom back to their American home bases on Sunday after an unspecified new threat, according to a US official. It comes days after the British government arrested a number of individuals in connection with an alleged Iranian plot to target the UK airbase where the planes had been stationed.

“We can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have re-deployed to their home stations in the United States,” the official told CNN. The statement did not include details on why the planes were moved, calling the latest threat a “real world incident.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio downplayed the removal of the US bombers, saying he would not “directly tie” the planes’ redeployment to the alleged plot. “The only reason why you guys are focused on how many planes are at Fairford is because of the threat that happened last week,” Rubio told reporters at Joint Base Andrews.

The relocation of the bombers comes amid the investigation into the alleged plot. British police arrested five men on suspicion of terror offenses close to the airbase, though no explosives were found and the men were quickly released on bail. A 25-year-old British-Iranian dual national was also arrested. Iran has denied any involvement in the incident. >>
