UK: Removes Some Personnel from its Base in Qatar

The United Kingdom is removing some of its personnel from its airbase in Qatar in anticipation of possible air strikes by the United States against Iran. This move mirrors similar actions by the US at its bases in the Middle East. The UK Ministry of Defence has not immediately commented on the news. The removal of personnel suggests increased concern about a potential escalation of tensions in the region, particularly following recent statements by Iran that it is ready to respond to any attack by the US or Israel. The situation is being closely monitored by international powers.
