Iran Threatens US Bases in Middle East Amid Protests

Iran has threatened to strike US military bases in the Middle East, including those in Bahrain, Jordan, and Turkey, if Donald Trump attacks Iran amid ongoing protests. The US maintains a significant military presence in the region, with bases controlling critical sea and air routes. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar is the largest US base in the Middle East, while Jebel Ali port in Dubai is a major hub for the US Navy. In Iraq, Ain Al Asad and Erbil bases support Iraqi forces and allied operations. Saudi Arabia also hosts US forces. Iran's threat comes in response to Trump's support for protesters and the possibility of US military intervention.
