The United States has withdrawn its bombers from a UK air base due to heightened security concerns.

A recent suspected terrorist plot led to the arrest of five British nationals, who were later released on bail.

What happened

The bombers, which were stationed at the Royal Air Force Fairford Base, were removed on Sunday.

The base has been used by the US military to launch strikes in the conflict in Iran.

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham suggested that Iran may have been involved in the suspected plot.

A sixth man, a UK-Iranian dual citizen, was also arrested in connection with the incident.

Police found a large quantity of gasoline in three vans seized during the initial arrests.

The US bombers have returned to their stations in the US, and the US Air Force has stated that its bomber force remains ready to deliver precision global strike capabilities.
