US EditionIran warns neighbours it could strike US bases if Washington intervenes in protests: Report
Iran warned US allies from Saudi Arabia to Turkey that American bases would be attacked if the US strikes Iran, amid protests with over 2,600 deaths, rights groups said.
- On Jan 14, Tehran warned it would strike U.S. bases on allied soil if Washington attacks Iran, Reuters reported but could not independently confirm.
- Amid a severe domestic crackdown and an internet blackout, Iranian authorities have made 18,137 arrests, while President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened intervention to support protesters.
- U.S. forces operate across the region, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, with diplomats reporting a posture change as some personnel were advised to leave by Wednesday evening.
- The U.S. State Department urged American citizens to leave Iran now, and Iran suspended direct contacts between Abbas Aragchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, and Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy, reflecting mounting tensions.
- A prior missile strike on Al Udeid last year shows Iran set a precedent for attacks, while Tehran's post-war weakness raises the risk of wider regional conflict.
