PNN – The United States has evacuated Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar over security concerns. Iranian officials had previously stated that if the United States joined an Israeli attack on Iran, American bases in the region would be legitimate targets for Iran.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing the Israeli news channel 12, surveys show that the number of aircraft at Al-Udeid base in Qatar has decreased sharply. The base is the largest US military base in the region and now there are almost no aircraft visible there. Satellite images confirm the departure of 40 aircraft.
According to the Israeli 12 News Channel, surveys show that the number of aircraft at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar has decreased sharply.
The base is the largest US military base in the region and is now virtually deserted. Satellite images confirm the departure of 40 aircraft. The Israeli Channel 12 claims that the departure of these aircraft was due to concerns about the Shiite Popular Forces.
Channel 12’s claim regarding America’s concern about Shiite forces is unfounded, and there are no Shiite forces present in Qatar; in addition, American military bases are under strict protection.
Earlier, in response to Trump’s statements, Iranian military and political leaders had said that if the Americans entered the conflict, they would consider American bases in the region to be legitimate targets.
