BREAKING:
A US B-1B Lancer bomber took off from RAF Fairford in the UK tonight with full afterburners, likely heading toward the Middle East.
A heavy afterburner takeoff can indicate the bomber is carrying a large weapons load.
US has also issued security alerts for its embassies across the Middle East as tensions rise.
Some reports suggest the US could resume major strikes against Ansarullah in Yemen following its attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Ansarullah could respond by closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which which connects Asia and Europe.
The situation could also be connected to the ongoing tensions with Iran.
The U.S. military broadcasted an emergency action message consisting of only 17 characters.
This is one of the shortest EAMs ever recorded, and all known instances of this length have occurred this year, following the outbreak of the war in Iran.
