The U.S. evacuated USAF refueling tankers from RAF Mildenhall in the UK to Germany and other countries following threat intelligence from Iran, WSJ reports.
Security posture at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath has been raised to FPCON Charlie, which applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.
Notably, several weeks ago, RAF Fairford was also evacuated, with U.S. B-1 and B-52 bombers being moved back to the U.S. following a threat intelligence from Iran.
