YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer CIA Director John Brennan joins Andrew Marr to assess the latest with Iran, Greenland and ICE.
Hundreds of personnel have been pulled out of a key US military base in Qatar in what officials have called a "precautionary measure."
Some UK military personnel are being withdrawn from the al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, where the RAF is stationed alongside American forces, the i Paper reports.
US personnel at the base were previously advised to evacuate by Wednesday evening, an American official said.
The decision came as a senior official brought up an earlier Iranian attack there and the US has described the move at the base as a precautionary measure.
The official would not go into any further details about the move, including whether the evacuation was optional or mandatory, if it affected troops or civilian personnel, or the number of those advised to leave, citing the need for operational security.
It comes as anti-government protests in nearby Iran continue and Donald Trump has said that he is willing to conduct military operations in the country if the government continues to retaliate against the protesters.
The US president previously said: "I haven't heard about the hanging. If they hang them, you're going to see some things... We will take very strong action if they do such a thing."
