NBC News reported that the U. S. Air Force moved several KC-135 Stratotankers and Osprey helicopters from RAF Mildenhall to other European bases after heightened security measures were triggered by an unspecified Iranian threat.

Earlier, Al-Monitor, citing the Wall Street Journal, said the United States had transferred tankers from the same base to Germany and raised the force-protection condition to FPCON Charlie. TWZ noted that RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall were operating under enhanced force-protection measures, though officials declined to provide details.
