Changes at Al Udeid Base in Qatar
Recent satellite images reveal a significant reduction in the number of US military aircraft stationed at Al Udeid base in Qatar. Notably, nearly 40 aircraft, including transport and reconnaissance planes, were seen on the tarmac on June 5. However, images captured on June 19 show that this number has dwindled to just three, indicating a possible strategic relocation.
This apparent withdrawal may be a precautionary measure aimed at protecting these assets from potential Iranian air strikes, particularly as tensions escalate in the region. In light of ongoing hostilities, the US embassy in Qatar has advised personnel to exercise heightened vigilance and limited access to the base, emphasizing a cautious approach amid recent developments.
