US withdrew bombers from UK base over Iranian 'Spider Web' drone threat: Report

The US withdrew all 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford after intelligence indicated Iran’s IRGC was plotting a multipronged drone attack targeting American aircraft and personnel, The New York Times reported. President Donald Trump confirmed the move as a precaution. Officials believe the plot was loosely inspired by Ukraine's 'Spider Web' attack on Russian airbases last year.
