Israel reportedly warned Germany of an increased threat to U.S. military bases on German territory, particularly Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases. A senior American official described the warning in reporting published on Saturday. The report also described intelligence received in mid-September about possible Iranian-sponsored attacks against American facilities in Europe, including RAF Fairford in Britain. The intelligence assessments reportedly raised concern about drone attacks, but did not identify a concrete time or target for an attack.
