I joined Talk TV’s Petrie Hosken on Monday night to analyze the US withdrawal of 12 B-1 bombers from the RAF Fairford airbase in southwest England.
I navigate what we knew and did not know at the time, amid conflicting and sometimes vague statements from high-level US and UK officials including Donald Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
I summarize the situation, with five men released on bail and a UK-Iran national detained on suspicion of terrorist offenses. I emphasize the need to avoid speculation, both for legal and security reasons.
The interview was conducted hours before The New York Times, citing US and UK officials, said the withdrawal was because of a suspected Iranian plot for drone strikes on the base.
