The US is urgently evacuating 1,500 soldiers from a base in Bahrain after Iran's strikes, — NPR
- We are talking about the Naval Support Activity Bahrain base, where the US 5th Fleet is based.
- This is one of the key hubs of the US military presence in the Middle East.
- The evacuated personnel began arriving in Norfolk, where local organizations had to urgently collect the most basic items for them — from hygiene products to clothing.
- They were literally told: "Take everything you can in your backpack and you need to leave. They arrived without uniforms, with nothing at all," — said a veteran organization.
- Before the hostilities, there were about 8,000 people at the base in Bahrain
