The USA urgently withdraws personnel from bases in the Middle East: threats from Iran and Trump's decision.
Emergency withdrawal of US personnel from the Middle East
According to TSN.ua: The USA is urgently withdrawing personnel from key bases in the Middle East due to threats from Tehran to retaliate. President Donald Trump has made a decision regarding possible military intervention amid protests in Iran, which are accompanied by significant casualties. On January 14, 2021, it was announced that part of the personnel would be withdrawn from their military bases in the region.
According to the human rights group HRANA, the verified death toll of 2403 protesters indicates the seriousness of the situation in Iran. Iranian authorities have acknowledged that the number of casualties exceeds 2000, and they have reported the detention of over 18000 protesters. These events have raised concerns among the international community.
Threats from Tehran
Meanwhile, Tehran has warned regional countries that US bases on their territory will be attacked if Washington decides to strike Iran. An anonymous US official confirmed that a decision to withdraw personnel has been made. The bases are currently on full alert, and the world is waiting for further developments.
This situation underscores the increasing tension in relations between the USA and Iran, which has arisen due to internal issues in Iran and threats from Tehran. The withdrawal of American personnel from military bases may indicate preparations for possible escalations of the conflict, which will also impact regional security and stability. The international community will closely monitor the further actions of both sides, as the situation may have far-reaching consequences for the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
