Nor does the question posed by the #BBC merit the implications Aunty assigns it:
Why was the F-15E operating so deep inside Iran?
Cos that's where the targets are;
Iran would be stupid to put them on the coast. That the Yanks were after alleged U-235 stockpiles is An Inference Too Far.
Also, Forward Operating Base (FOB) suggests persistence. It was a FARP - a single-mission Fueling And Rearming Point.

Of course not! Not silly you, @Robbins@mastodon.scot !
Even the august Aunty, the venerable Beeb, is indulging in conspiracy-theory grade wild speculation:

But it's ill-informed and specious.
So there were holes in the remains of the destroyed Hercules - that doesn't mean they took Iranian fire; 1000 lb bombs produce a lotta shrapnel and the USAF claims they destroyed their four a/c not with satchel charges but with 40 such bombs dropped by two B-1Bs. 🧵
