## Summary

US officials are stepping up protection for senior figures facing alleged Iranian threats, while Washington is questioning whether Britain can adequately protect American military assets on its territory. The article argues that the UK’s response to alleged Iranian-linked attacks could weaken US confidence in its security.

It cites the evacuation of 12 B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford after an alleged plot and the relocation of 10 refuelling tankers from RAF Mildenhall to Germany and Spain. Mohammed al-Saadi, accused of directing attacks for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, was extradited to the US and charged with eight terrorism offences; the article also reports that seven of 20 alleged attacks in Europe this year took place in Britain.
