🇺🇸 US Exits Iraq After 20 Years — Iran Claims Victory

US forces are withdrawing from their last bases in Iraq by Wednesday, ending more than two decades of military presence in the country where 4,500 Americans died.

The pullout was agreed in 2024 under President Biden and is being carried out by the Trump administration. Iran and its allies — who now hold deep influence in Iraq — are celebrating the departure as a victory. Iraqi security experts warn the withdrawal could give Tehran and its proxies free rein in the country, opening space for other US adversaries as well.

🇬🇧 Five Arrested in Suspected Iran-Linked Plot at US Airbase

British counter-terrorism police are questioning five men arrested near RAF Fairford in western England on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offences, as investigators examine whether the arrests foiled an Iran-linked attack on the base.

Officers detained the men in the early hours of Sunday after a tip-off that three large white vans were heading toward the airfield. Suspected explosives were seized. A local councillor told Reuters a specific Iranian threat against the base had emerged around six weeks ago, prompting increased surveillance. Iran's Revolutionary Guards had previously declared RAF Fairford a legitimate target due to its use by US bombers for strikes on Iran.

President Trump said the suspects had been looking to do "big damage" and had been under joint British-US investigation. Investigators have not yet concluded whether the plot was state-backed.
