00:00:00.310 --> 00:00:05.530
To that NATO story, why is the United States removing
2
00:00:05.629 --> 00:00:10.599
bombers from United Kingdom bases? Is it more than one?
3
00:00:10.619 --> 00:00:14.839
We know that RAF Fairford is a key European base
4
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.920
that had a little suspected terror trouble last week. Jonathan
5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.039
Savage with Fox News Radio with the latest in London
6
00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:23.039
this morning. Good morning.
7
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:24.780
Hello, good morning.
8
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.859
So talk to us a little bit about this news
9
00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:32.789
from yesterday. What U.S. assets have come back to the
10
00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:33.509
United States?
11
00:00:34.649 --> 00:00:39.030
Yeah, the United States has removed all 12 B-1 bombers
12
00:00:39.109 --> 00:00:42.179
deployed at RAF Fairford. They've been sent back to their
13
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.640
home stations in America. RAF Fairford is the airbase. which
14
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.649
was the subject of a huge security alert about nine
15
00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:54.909
days ago when police were called with suspicious activity near
16
00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:59.170
the base. Three white vans near the airfield, people reportedly
17
00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:03.859
running masked into nearby fields. Five men arrested in suspicion
18
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.900
of terrorism and explosive offenses, but later released on bail
19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.109
and still under investigation. Then later in the week, a
20
00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:15.629
25-year-old UK-Iranian joint national also arrested and released on bail.
21
00:01:16.150 --> 00:01:19.560
Iran suspected of playing a part in this, according to
22
00:01:19.609 --> 00:01:22.879
the British prime minister. And this alleged threat from Iran
23
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.299
seems to have intensified. President Trump has confirmed that because
24
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.969
of some threats to the base, The 12 B-1 bombers
25
00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:33.590
went back to the U.S., saying there was no reason
26
00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:36.849
to leave the aircraft there when it was very simple
27
00:01:36.909 --> 00:01:41.000
to move them. Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed that these
28
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.120
were concerns about Iranian activity.
29
00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:47.439
Was this from the thing nine days ago, or are
30
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.730
there renewed worries that there could be another attack?
31
00:01:53.129 --> 00:01:55.920
You remember nine days ago when all this happened, President
32
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.959
Trump seemed to indicate that they were aware of the
33
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.400
possibility of there being a threat to the base. It
34
00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:05.849
feels like this is a complex and layered situation. And
35
00:02:05.870 --> 00:02:10.500
as they get more and more intelligent... the response gets
36
00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:13.919
more and more significant. According to the New York Times
37
00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:17.419
and the Wall Street Journal, U.S. and European officials believe
38
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.939
the immediate concern was an Iranian drone attack against the
39
00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:25.870
aircraft and American personnel. That harks back to something Ukraine
40
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.729
did against Russia last year, where they transported drones secretly
41
00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:33.310
into Russia on trucks, launching them close to military airfields
42
00:02:33.650 --> 00:02:37.210
attacking Russian aircraft while they were on the ground. American
43
00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:41.139
officials reportedly believe a similar concept may have been on
44
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:41.819
the cards here.
45
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.039
That thing from Ukraine to Russia disabled like a third
46
00:02:46.099 --> 00:02:48.909
of all their long-range bombers, too. Do I remember that right?
47
00:02:50.090 --> 00:02:52.289
Yeah, it was a really high number. I don't remember
48
00:02:52.310 --> 00:02:55.900
the exact number, but it was an enormous coup for
49
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.340
the Ukrainian military and intelligence community. And the United States
50
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.360
and the UK would be absolutely aghast that such a
51
00:03:04.419 --> 00:03:08.780
thing could happen potentially on this soil. But it's coming
52
00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:15.840
as NATO warns that Iran does present an acute threat
53
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:17.460
to US assets in the UK.
54
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.590
