The U.S. has issued a security warning for access to its largest air base in the Middle East at Doha in Qatar amid an intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran. Newsweek has contacted the Pentagon for comment.
Why It Matters
The warning, along with the redeployment of military assets in the region, signals the U.S. stepping up defense and readiness against possible threats from Iran or proxy regional groups ahead of a potential attack on Iran.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Senate committee on Wednesday that the U.S. military stands prepared to execute any decision President Donald Trump makes regarding Iran.
