美国空军已从英国皇家空军费尔福德基地撤回全部约12架B-1轰炸机，返回美国本土34。这一决定源于针对该基地的恐怖主义威胁12。美国和英国官员暗示伊朗可能参与其中4，而伊朗方面则对此予以否认4。
事件起源于9月27日凌晨，英国警方在该基地附近发现可疑车辆，随即逮捕了5名英国籍男子和1名英伊双籍男子34。警方疏散了附近85户居民3，在现场发现了汽油，但未发现爆炸装置3。这些被捕人员随后被保释4。
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆表示有"强有力的迹象"表明伊朗的参与4。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥称事件"明显涉及外国势力"4。特朗普总统对这些嫌疑人被保释感到"惊讶"，声称"我们对他们了如指掌，我们不会释放他们"4。
RAF费尔福德基地几十年来一直被美国空军用作前进作战基地4。
The United States Air Force has removed approximately twelve B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, returning them to the United States 34. The withdrawal took place on October 4 3 following a security incident at the base in response to suspected terrorist threats 12. RAF Fairford has served as a forward operating base for the U.S. Air Force for several decades 4.
The decision to withdraw the aircraft came after a terrorism investigation that began on September 27, when British police arrested five men—initially identified as British nationals, followed by a sixth individual holding dual British-Iranian citizenship 34. During the incident, authorities evacuated approximately 85 nearby residents 3 and discovered gasoline at the scene, though no explosive devices were found 3. Some of those arrested have since been released on bail, prompting concern from U.S. officials. President Trump expressed surprise at the releases, stating "we know who they are, we won't be releasing them" 4.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicated there were "strong indications" of Iranian involvement in the security threat 4, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the incident "clearly involves a foreign power" 4. Iran has strongly denied any involvement in the matter 4. The withdrawal reflects heightened concerns following new threats reportedly emanating from Iran 5, demonstrating the sensitivity surrounding the base's strategic importance to American operations in the region.
