EE.UU. retira bombarderos B-1 de RAF Fairford por presunto plan iraní

Funcionarios estadounidenses declararon que un presunto plan iraní para atacar la base RAF Fairford obligó al presidente Donald Trump a ordenar la retirada de los bombarderos B-1 de EE. UU. del Reino Unido, y la policía británica detuvo a un hombre de 22 años vinculado al caso. Con anterioridad, la policía antiterrorista del Reino Unido arrestó a cinco hombres bajo sospecha de explosivos y actos terroristas cerca del aeródromo, lo que provocó evacuaciones y la intervención de un equipo de desactivación de bombas.

El secretario de Estado estadounidense Marco Rubio insinuó la posible participación de un actor extranjero, y el primer ministro británico indicó que la inteligencia apuntaba a Irán. El primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu afirmó que Israel había advertido al Reino Unido sobre un ataque respaldado por Irán. Tras los arrestos, los cinco sospechosos fueron puestos en libertad bajo fianza mientras los investigadores examinan posibles vínculos con Irán, Rusia u organizaciones no estatales.
