The U.S. military evacuated a dozen planes from the RAF Fairford airbase following the incident which U.S. and British authorities linked to Iran.
The Pentagon detailed in a statement that the planes have been flown back to the United States. "While operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real-time, 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 document added.
