RAF Fairford, which has been mentioned in the context of U.S. military aircraft, is also coming into focus recently because of developments in the Middle East.
The base has been heavily used by U.S. fighter jets after the attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran began on 28 February. The UK government argues that the base is being used for defensive operations.
