US EditionU.S. Evacuates Some Personnel from Qatar Air Base Amid Iran Tensions: Report
U.S. advised some personnel to leave Al Udeid Air Base due to heightened Iran tensions; base houses about 10,000 troops, officials said it is a posture change, not full evacuation.
- On Wednesday, some personnel at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were advised to leave by evening, with diplomats describing it as `It's a posture change and not an ordered evacuation`.
- After U.S. attacks in June, Iran launched missiles that struck Al Udeid, prompting earlier partial evacuations as Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps moved to the highest readiness.
- After escalating rhetoric, reports say President Donald Trump canceled planned negotiations and asked `Iranian patriots` to continue protesting, while senior advisers discussed military and cyber options overnight.
- Amid mounting concern, Tehran warned regional countries it would target U.S. bases if it comes under attack.
- Amid a continuing communications shutdown, domestic unrest has evolved into broader anti-regime demonstrations as connectivity remains down nearly six days and some Iranians used Starlink, enabled temporarily by Elon Musk.
