一架罗克韦尔B-1枪骑兵重型轰炸机于10月4日从英国费尔福德的皇家空军费尔福德基地起飞。
据一名美国官员透露,在出现不明新威胁后,美国已将远程轰炸机撤回美国本土基地。此前数日,英国政府逮捕了多名与针对该轰炸机部署基地的疑似伊朗袭击阴谋相关的人员。
“我们现在可以确认,所有部署到皇家空军费尔福德基地的美国轰炸机都已重新部署到美国本土基地,”该官员告诉CNN。声明未提及战机撤离的具体原因。
这位消息人士称,此次最新威胁是一起“真实世界事件”。该官员表示,美国军方将轰炸机撤回本土而非部署到该地区其他基地,这一情况不同寻常。
英国国防部拒绝置评。
费尔福德的皇家空军基地曾被用于部署参与对伊朗战争的美国B-1轰炸机,同时也是美国全球打击司令部的作战地点,该司令部负责管理远程打击任务。
此次轰炸机撤离正值对该疑似阴谋的调查期间。英国警方于9月27日在该基地附近逮捕了五名涉嫌恐怖主义和爆炸类犯罪的男子。这些男子仅被确认是年龄在23岁至25岁之间的英国公民,来自伦敦地区,随后很快被保释释放,警方确认现场的三辆货车中未发现爆炸物。他们的获释引发了唐纳德·特朗普总统的批评,他表示“换作是我不会这么做”。
另有一名25岁的英伊双重国籍男子也于周四因与该疑似阴谋有关被逮捕。
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆上周表示,有“强有力的迹象”表明伊朗参与了此次事件。
“我们将在适当的时候公布更多信息,但我们可以确认,我们认为伊朗参与其中,”他在9月30日接受BBC采访时表示。
伯纳姆的言论似乎支持了美国的评估,即此次事件涉及外国势力。美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥上周在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示,疑似阴谋中存在“外国势力的黑手”,但拒绝透露细节。
“我认为这让我们认清了现实。我们正在与世界上的一些势力打交道,比如伊朗,它们公开威胁要在全球范围内袭击美国利益,”他说。
与此同时,伊朗否认参与此次事件,称指控毫无根据,并召见了在德黑兰的英国大使,伊朗国家媒体周四报道称。据报道,在此次会面中,伊朗副外长马吉德·塔赫特-拉万奇敦促伦敦修正其所谓的“针对德黑兰的不当做法”。

US removes all Air Force bombers from UK base following new threat

The United States has moved long-range bombers back to their American home stations after an unspecified new threat, according to a US official, days after the British government arrested a number of individuals in connection with an alleged Iranian plot to target the UK airbase where the planes had been stationed.
“We can acknowledge now that all U.S. bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have re-deployed to their home stations in the United States,” the official told CNN. The statement did not include details on why the planes were moved.
The source familiar called the latest threat a “real world incident.” It is unusual that the US military would move the bombers back to their home stations instead of deploying them to another base in the region, the official said.
The UK Ministry of Defense declined to comment.
The Royal Air Force base at Fairford has been used to deploy US B-1 bombers involved in the war against Iran and is an operating location for US Global Strike Command, which is tasked with managing long-distance strikes.
The relocation of the bombers comes amid the investigation into the alleged plot. British police on September 27 arrested five men on suspicion of terror and explosives offenses close to the airbase. The men – identified only as British nationals between the ages of 23 and 25 and from the London area – were quickly released on bail, with police confirming no explosives were found in three vans at the scene. Their release sparked criticism from President Donald Trump, who said “I wouldn’t have done that.”
A 25-year-old British-Iranian dual national was also arrested on Thursday in connection with the alleged plot.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said last week there are “strong indications” Iran was involved in the incident.
“We will say more in due course, but we can confirm our belief that we believe Iran to have played a part,” he told the BBC on Sept 30.
Burnham’s remarks appeared to support the US’ assessment that the incident involved a foreign actor. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said “the hands of a foreign actor” were involved in the alleged plot but declined to provide details in an interview with Fox News last week.
“I think it ties us to the reality here. We are dealing with elements in the world, and in the case of Iran for example, who have openly threatened to attack American interests globally,” he said.
Meanwhile, Iran has denied any involvement in the incident, described the accusations as baseless and summoned the British ambassador in Tehran, Iranian state media reported Thursday. During the meeting, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi reportedly urged London to revise what he called its “inappropriate approach” toward Tehran.
