The US military evacuated aircraft from a second airbase in Britain on Monday after a threat from Iran, the Wall ​Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, two US refueling tankers that were using the RAF Mildenhall military base 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.

According to the Journal, the precise nature of ​the threat to RAF Mildenhall remains under discussion among US officials.
The US upgraded ⁠the security posture at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath to FPCON Charlie, the WSJ report said, citing ​a US official familiar with the matter.

Force Protection Condition (FPCON) Charlie is the second-highest defensive threat level in the ​US Department of Defense's security system and occurs when intelligence indicates that a form of terrorist action is likely.
