Bantu AS lawan Iran, Inggris Terima "Kejutan" Dari Teheran, IRGC: RAF Fairford Kini Target Sah

An air base in rural Gloucestershire, England, has suddenly become the focus of global attention after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially designated it as a legitimate target for retaliatory strikes. RAF Fairford, the only forward operating base for US heavy bombers in Europe, was reportedly used to launch B-1B Lancer strategic bombers in an attack on Iran on July 22, 2026. The IRGC even identified a specific aircraft with the tail number 86-0108 as clear evidence of the base's involvement. This threat comes amid a change of government in the UK, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who had taken office just three days earlier, reaffirming his commitment to continuing the policy of allowing the base to be used for US operations. The UK responded by declaring a 24-hour, layered air defense alert involving all branches of the kingdom's military along with NATO allies. More worryingly, the Iranian Air Force is reportedly considering a long-range ballistic missile attack on Fairford, with the possible use of cluster munitions to address the accuracy issues previously encountered in the attack on Diego Garcia. If realized, this would be Iran's first ballistic missile engagement against a NATO member state in Europe since Operation Epic Fury began on February 28, 2026. This conflict demonstrates that the modern era has erased geographical safety boundaries for any nation involved in the global network of military alliances. #RAFFairford #UKAirbase #IranVsUK #MiddleEastWar2026 #B1Lancer #IRGC
