A number of personnel have been told to depart the United States’ Al Udeid military base in Qatar “in response to the current regional tensions,” the Gulf state’s International Media Office said in a statement on Wednesday.
Some personnel have been told to depart the United States’ Al Udeid military base in Qatar, two diplomatic sources said, after Washington threatened to respond to a government crackdown on protests in Iran.
“Qatar continues to implement all necessary measures to safeguard the security and safety of its citizens and residents as a top priority, including actions related to the protection of critical infrastructure and military facilities,” the statement said. (AFP)
