Maybe if Trump hadn’t have miscalculated taking action on Iran, we wouldn’t be where we are 🤷🏻♂️

US bases across the Middle East have taken direct hits, with aircraft damaged on the ground—yet host countries like Jordan face zero public scrutiny about their reliability, yet here we are with people suggesting the UK should be removed from Five eyes due to Fairford threat?

The interest in bomber ops at Fairford has been huge, by spotters, enthusiasts and the public alike - taken in April 2026 just before the ceasefire was announced

Yes we would suffer immensely!
Israel would be prepared to sever intelligence-sharing with Britain if the relationship between the two countries worsens — and MI6 would suffer more than Mossad, a former CIA chief has told @thetimes

The incident at RAF Fairford has been escalating overnight, this is what is clear so far.
Gloucestershire Police has announced that they have arrested multiple men on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act, and that they have declared a Major Incident.
According to the Police, the Army explosives disposal team are examining a number of vehicles.
During the evening, we learned that RAF Fairford had been placed in FPCON Delta, the highest alert level for U.S. Bases, and that Lakenheath (but not Mildenhall), had been placed in the second-highest alert level, Charlie.
A U.K. Police helicopter was circling the base in the early hours of the morning while local residents in Kempsford were being evacuated from their homes, as reported by Wiltshire999 [1].

Crazy to see the air base you grew up next to, and the villages surrounding it where you have family members living, is centre of world news 🤯🤯
