U.S. military action against the Iranian regime could begin within the next 24 hours, according to European officials cited by Reuters, as the United States has advised personnel to leave its largest military installation in the Middle East.
U.S. personnel and diplomats have been advised to leave Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar by Wednesday night, according to diplomatic sources. Al Udeid, which houses roughly 10,000 U.S. troops, serves as a central hub for American air operations across the region.
Reuters reported that two European officials said U.S. military action targeting Iran may commence within the next 24 hours, amid escalating regional tensions and internal unrest inside Iran.
Iranian officials have warned that any attack on the country would prompt retaliatory strikes against U.S. military bases in the region, including installations in Qatar and neighboring countries.
The heightened alert follows days of intensified unrest inside Iran, where protests against the Islamic regime have continued to spread. According to reports cited by Reuters, an estimated 2,000 anti-regime protesters were killed this week as Iranian security forces moved to suppress demonstrations opposing the rule of the ayatollahs.
The evacuation advisories and diplomatic movements underscore growing concern among U.S. allies that a direct confrontation between Washington and Tehran could be imminent, as violence escalates both inside Iran and across the wider Middle East.
