Possible threats of an Iran-backed terror plot spark more security fears at major RAF base


The UK Prime Minister’s Office is insisting RAF Fairford base is secure after the US removed its fighter-bombers from the site.

The air base was the target of a suspected terror attack last month.

New York Times reports American commanders had received new threats about an Iran-backed plot against the site.

Refuelling aircraft had to be deployed to support the bombers’ hasty redeployment back to the US.

But US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says America still has confidence in the security of all of its bases.
