Stealth bombers landing at UK bases 'in days' after Trump pressures Starmer: report
AI Summary
According to reports, U.S. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers are expected to arrive at U.K. military bases, including RAF Fairford, within days. This deployment is reportedly linked to intensified U.S.-Israel operations against Iran, following previous strikes on Iranian ballistic missile facilities in February. The U.S. was authorized to use British bases for limited strikes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer approved the plan to protect U.K. and U.S. allies. Tensions have risen after a suspected Iranian-made drone struck RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, prompting increased security measures and a U.S. travel advisory for the region. The U.S. Central Command confirmed the B-2 stealth bombers, equipped with 2,000-pound bombs, struck Iranian "hardened" ballistic missile sites.
