美国国防部周日确认从英国RAF Fairford空军基地撤回约12架B-1轰炸机回美本土1。特朗普总统随后证实这一决定源于针对该基地的威胁,他表示"他们不是意外飞出的。有一些威胁。"1
美国官员指伊朗可能与9月27日发生在该基地附近的可疑车辆事件有关1。当日警察接到三辆"可疑车辆"的警报1。五名男子因恐怖罪名被逮捕后获保释,随后第六名英裔伊朗人也被逮捕后获保释1。伊朗强烈否认参与该事件1。
国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示这种军事资产轮换做法"不寻常"1,副总统JD万斯则称轰炸机是出于"格外谨慎"而撤出1。伊朗曾在7月表示"任何用于对伊朗领土进行侵略的基地都是我们军队的合法目标"1。RAF Fairford近月来被美空军用于对中东地区的B-1和B-52轰炸机任务1。
The United States Department of Defense confirmed the withdrawal of approximately 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, returning them to American soil.1 President Trump stated on Monday that the decision was prompted by security concerns, explaining: "They didn't just fly out by accident. There were some threats."1
The withdrawal followed a suspicious vehicle incident near the base on September 27, when police responded to reports of three vehicles in the vicinity.1 Five men were arrested on terrorism-related charges and subsequently released on bail, while a sixth individual of British-Iranian descent was also arrested and released on bail.1 American officials suspect potential Iranian involvement in the incident, though Iran has categorically denied any connection.1 In July, Iran had previously stated that "any base used for aggressive acts against Iranian territory" would be a legitimate target for its military.1
Vice President JD Vance characterized the bomber relocation as a measure of "heightened caution,"1 while Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the withdrawal of military assets as an "unusual" procedural step.1 RAF Fairford has recently served as a hub for US Air Force operations involving B-1 and B-52 bombers conducting missions over the Middle East.1
