U.S. Withdrawing Some Personnel From Military Base In Qatar

The United States is withdrawing some personnel from the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran. A U.S. official says some personnel at a key military base in Qatar have been advised to evacuate. The move is seen as a precaution and comes as anti-government protests in nearby Iran continue and President Trump has said he’s willing to conduct military operations if the government continues to retaliate against the protesters.
