Iran warns neighboring countries of strikes on US bases in case of US attack — Reuters

Tehran has warned neighboring countries hosting US military bases that it will attack these facilities in the event of a US strike on Iran.

This was reported to Reuters by a senior Iranian official, according to Ukrinform.

“Tehran has told regional countries, from Saudi Arabia and the UAE to Turkey, that U.S. bases in those countries will be attacked,” if the US strikes Iran, he said.

The official also specified that direct contacts between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been suspended for now.

It is noted that the United States has troops throughout the region, including the Central Command's forward headquarters in Al Udeid, Qatar, and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.

According to the agency, some US military personnel were advised to leave Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar by Wednesday evening.

As reported by Ukrinform, the administration of US President Donald Trump has asked European countries to share intelligence on possible targets in Iran.
