Iran has warned neighbouring countries hosting U.S. troops that it would retaliate against American bases if Washington carries out threats to intervene in protests in the country.
According to reports, Tehran has asked U.S. allies in the region to prevent Washington from attacking Iran. The reports added that direct contacts between Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff had been suspended.
Meanwhile, quoting three diplomats, a news agency reported that some US personnel had been advised to leave the US military’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar by this evening. Al Udeid is West Asia’s largest U.S. base, housing around 10,000 troops.
