Kathmandu. The United States has ordered its military personnel to leave the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This move has intensified speculation that the U.S. may be preparing for a potential strike against Iran.
It remains unclear whether the movement of troops from this Qatari military base is directly linked to an imminent attack. Reports suggest that this should not be viewed as a full military withdrawal, but rather a “precautionary posture change”—a strategic shift in security and positioning.
According to reports, there are currently no signs of large-scale troop deployments to nearby locations like stadiums or shopping malls, which was observed just before Iran’s missile attacks last year. Meanwhile, diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran have come to a standstill. Reuters has reported that formal contact between the Trump administration and Iran has been suspended.
Direct communication between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has also ceased, further escalating tensions between the two nations.
Harsh statements have also emerged from Iran. Iranian officials have stated that their military readiness is at its peak. They have warned that if the U.S. uses the territory of other regional countries for an attack, those countries will also face retaliation. Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that any country assisting the U.S. in attacking Iran will be targeted.
