And even though details of the latest intelligence are being kept under wraps, the U.S. government's drastic actions could be saying even more than words.
The sudden exit happened so fast, the jets were reportedly in the air before the tanks in the air to air refueling aircraft were even topped off.
It is the same base where British police arrested five men suspected of plotting a terror attack believed to be linked to Iran.
Now, all have now been released on bail, and British police say they are keeping close watch on them, but the arrests apparently were not enough to stop the threat.
President Trump confirmed the concerns to reporters on his way to that rally in Nebraska.

And we actually know the people that make the threat.

At the same time, we are learning more about another thwarted terror attack, the attempted takeover of the fly Dubai jet filled with Israelis flying to Tel Aviv.

And a source familiar with the investigation tells NewsNation he even planned a backup target if the first one failed.
President Trump has suggested Iran could be involved there too, but so far investigators have not publicly established that link.
Either way, prosecutors in the United Arab Emirates today said that he will face the death penalty if found guilty at trial.
