Middle East war: US bomber lands in UK as Iran crisis enters eighth day

The Middle East war has entered its eighth day as an American bomber landed in Britain amid US warnings of a 'surge' in strikes on Iran. The 146ft B-1 Lancer arrived at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on Friday evening after Sir Keir Starmer granted permission for 'defensive' US action against Iranian missile sites from UK bases. A second Government charter flight carrying British citizens from Oman landed at Gatwick Airport at 12.30am on Saturday as efforts to help people trapped in the war zone continue.
