UK base in foiled terror plot also used for US strikes on Iran
Original: U.K. base at center of foiled terror plot has been used by U.S. Air Force to strike Iran
A British air base has been identified as the site of a foiled terror plot, and reporting shows the same installation has been used by the U.S. Air Force to launch strikes against Iran. The dual role of the base is drawing attention to its strategic importance and its exposure as a potential target. Further details about the plot, those behind it, and the response from UK and US authorities have not yet been made public.
Why now: The revelation that a base targeted in a foiled terror plot is also actively used for US military strikes on Iran ties the story to current Middle East tensions.
