Several US military aircraft have left a second airbase in Britain on Monday, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Two US refuelling tankers that were using the RAF Mildenhall airbase in Suffolk diverted to Germany earlier on Monday, while several other tankers at the base were moved ⁠to Germany and other locations later in the day, the WSJ report said.

This was done in response to a threat from Iran, the newspaper reported, citing US officials.
