Iran warns of possible strikes on U.S. bases in Europe
Iran's security council secretary warned that Tehran could strike European bases hosting U. S. aircraft if the United States conducts new attacks on Iran, The Independent reported. Earlier, U.
S. officials said RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in England were placed under heightened force-protection measures, though they declined to detail the reasons. According to Al-Monitor, the United States then relocated KC-135 refueling tankers and Osprey helicopters from RAF Mildenhall to bases in Germany and raised the base’s security level to FPCON Charlie in response to an unspecified Iranian threat.
