Some personnel have been withdrawn from the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar amid warnings from Iran that it could strike US bases in the Middle East if Trump escalates his agression.
The Al Udeid Air Base is the largest US base in the Middle East with about 10,000 personnel.
The US fifth fleet is stationed in Bahrain.
The fact that the US is telling personnel to leave a key base ahead of a warning of an attack strongly suggests the top brass realize they cannot defend the base against Iranian hypersonic glide missiles.
