US plane dubbed the nuke sniffer' lands in UK amid growing tensions with Iran
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Dubbed the nuke sniffer, the USAF WC-135R Constant Phoenix jet is used to detect radioactive particles in the atmosphere and was reportedly deployed to the Middle East days before Donald Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities last year. While the reason for its latest trip to RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk is unclear, defence sources told The Telegraph that its presence did not indicate that military action was imminent."
The Independent operates without paywalls and seeks donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. The outlet investigates political financing and produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. A US Air Force WC-135R Constant Phoenix nuclear-detection aircraft landed at RAF Mildenhall in Britain amid escalating tensions with Iran. The jet detects radioactive particles and was reportedly deployed to the Middle East days before Donald Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities last year. Defence sources said the aircraft's presence did not indicate imminent military action, but speculation grows about a possible US strike as protests and crackdowns continue in Iran.
