US Evacuates Aircraft from Second UK Base Following Iran Threat
The US military has evacuated its aircraft from a second British base due to threats from Iran, while President Trump stated that the war has effectively ended militarily.
The US military has evacuated its aircraft from a second British air base in line with security threats originating from Iran. This development follows Washington's withdrawal of bombers from another UK base a few weeks ago for similar reasons.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the US military relocated aircraft at a second British air base to a safe area on Monday following a threat from Iran. This step comes on the heels of Washington withdrawing bombers from another UK base weeks ago, again due to suspected security threats linked to Iran.
On the other hand, it was reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has developed a missile named Hormuz, which can detect and counter radar emissions and strike enemy radar systems.
US President Donald Trump stated during a press conference that the US-Israeli war against Iran has "effectively ended" from a military standpoint and that the resumption of attacks is "quite unlikely." Stating that new military action against Tehran no longer appears necessary, Trump noted that they sent an additional aircraft carrier to the Middle East upon the request of regional neighbors, bringing the total number of carriers to three.
Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei, a high-ranking security official of Iran, demanded that the US "surrender" to seven conditions, rejecting claims of bilateral negotiations and describing such reports as "fake news".
