Iran Threatens US Bases in Neighboring Countries Amid Protests

  • Iran warned neighboring countries that US bases could be targeted if Washington intervenes in ongoing protests.
  • The threat comes as US President Donald Trump openly supported Iranian protesters and warned of "very strong action."
  • Some US personnel were advised to leave Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, though it was described as a "posture change" not a large-scale evacuation.
  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced increased missile stockpiles and high defensive readiness.
  • Tehran contacted regional allies like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Turkey, urging them to prevent US intervention.

Why It Matters: Iran warns of targeting US bases in the region if Washington intervenes in its internal protests.
