Reuters Reports U.S. Troop Movements Following Tehran Threats.
According to Reuters, citing a U.S. official, the United States is withdrawing some of its forces from military bases in the Middle East.
The news agency reported on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, that the decision comes amid rising security tensions in the region.
Reuters noted that this move follows warnings from a senior Iranian official who said Tehran had alerted neighboring countries that U.S. bases would be targeted if Washington launched any attacks.
The U.S. official emphasized that the limited withdrawal is a precautionary measure intended to ensure the safety of American personnel.
Earlier, Iranian authorities had warned that any U.S. military action would be met with a counter-response from Tehran and that American bases in the region would not be safe.
These developments have heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington and raised concerns over the potential escalation of conflict and further instability in the Middle East.
