I wonder what the "threat" really was that necessitated a rapid scramble of the planes back to CONUS.
If it was the threat of Iranian missiles, then that tells me the missile threat has not been sufficiently neutralized.
does iran really have missiles that can reach UK? Even if they did, i don't think they will try lobbing at the UK, let alone US
Probably there is alternate plan so maybe those r not needed, and for safety they were sent back, maybe uk is not safe (domestic)
Refuelers were aplenty parked in mideast/israel and they did not get targetted either recently.
i think they really want a deal from trump right now, theyre squeezed economically and these new sanctions are hurting them alot
