A US air force plane dubbed the “nuke sniffer” has landed in Britain amid growing tensions with the Iranian regime. It comes amid growing speculation that the US is considering striking Iran, following last June’s attacks on the country’s nuclear facilities. The USAF “nuke sniffer”, which is operated by the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron, was reportedly deployed from the United States to the Middle East days before Mr Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities last year. On Wednesday night, European diplomatic sources told The Telegraph that it was unclear if Mr Trump would launch a military strike on Iran.
