UK Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard is giving a statement in the Commons about protecting UK military bases, and started speaking just minutes after the news from Qatar broke.

"This is a fast-changing situation and we are monitoring it closely," he tells MPs.

He says he can't give details at this stage - but adds "the UK government utterly condemns any escalation".

"We have put force protection measures at its highest level to safeguard our personnel in the region," he says, continuing: "We have robust measures in place to protect our armed forces personnel and their safety is our top priority."

What you need to know about the Al Udeid base in Qatar

Al Udeid, located near Qatar's capital Doha, serves as the headquarters for US Central Command’s air operations in the Middle East and hosts nearly 8,000 US troops.
British forces also rotate through the base, sometimes referred to as Abu Nakhla Airport.
The facility currently serves as the headquarters and logistics base for US operations in Iraq and also includes the longest air landing strip in the Gulf region.
Qatar gave the United States access to the Al Udeid base in 2000. After the Americans took over as base managers in 2001, Doha and Washington inked an agreement in December 2002 that officially recognised the US military’s presence at Al Udeid facility, according to London-based intelligence firm Grey Dynamics.
In 2024, CNN reported that the US reached an agreement to extend its military presence in Qatar for another 10 years.

Trump administration was anticipating retaliation from Iran, White House official says​

From CNN’s Alayna Treene
The Trump administration was anticipating Tehran would retaliate after US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, and the president does not want more military engagement in the region, a senior White House official told CNN today.

“We knew they’d retaliate. They had a similar response after Soleimani,” the official said, referring to Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian commander killed in a US airstrike in 2020.

The official said initial assessments were that the missiles fired by the Iranians on Monday didn’t hit their intended targets. Qatar’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses intercepted an Iranian missile attack on the US air base in the country.

President Donald Trump is willing to escalate US military involvement if necessary, the official said. Trump was due to talk to national security officials Monday afternoon, and it is possible his posture could change.

PS: Republicans only care about the budget when there not in power. Otherwise they spend just as much if not more than Democrats.

Republicans are fake as hell. "If Trump was in office there be no war, no ukraine or russia." Now republicans "Iran got WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!"

I might look to get back into Federal contracting if the US job market continues to crater. Every few years I would interview for a cleared job but the salary sucked. And I would have to turn down the position.

Yeah the pay isn't the same but I think Gov Tech and Med Tech are a bit more secure. Before Elon and his chain saw Gov Tech positions were mainly secure. And now you got Trump talking about some "Golden Dome" and raising the pentagon's budget to 1 Trillion Dollars.

You can get more money if you're willing to go overseas one of the cats I use to work with was getting hella bread working out of South Korea and Japan.

But it's people making great bread here in the states. I plan to be in Gov tech my whole career maybe pivot to Med Tech. One thing for certain it will always be wars and conflicts as well as sick people on this planet unfortunately.
