EA-37Bs Arrive at RAF Fairford as Iran Threatens to Attack the UK Air Base
Iran, via the IRGC-linked Tasnim news outlet, threatened to attack RAF Fairford in the UK, claiming US B-1B bombers launched from there struck Iran. The threat came hours after two US Air Force EA-37B Compass Call electronic warfare jets arrived at the base. UK officials stated the country is prepared to defend itself, citing layered air and missile defense and increased funding. The article notes Iran's previous failed missile attack on Diego Garcia and suggests more likely attack vectors include short-range drones or sea-launched drones. The US Air Force confirmed the EA-37Bs are part of routine transient operations, while open-source trackers linked B-1Bs from Fairford to recent strikes on Iran, though CENTCOM declined comment.
