🟩 The New York Times reported Friday, citing Pentagon officials, that hundreds of U.S. troops have been evacuated from Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar and from U.S. bases in Bahrain that house the Navy's Fifth Fleet. The evacuations are part of defensive measures against possible Iranian retaliation, according to the officials. The U.S. also maintains troop presences at bases in Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. A U.S. official quoted by Fox News denied the report, calling it false. No formal statement has been issued by the Pentagon or U.S. Central Command to resolve the conflicting accounts.
