Some US personnel told to leave Qatar base as Iran vows to punish protesters

• Some personnel have been urged to leave a US military base in Qatar as a "precaution," as President Donald Trump considers taking military action against Iran. He warned the regime against executing protesters and said the US would take "strong action" in response.

• Iranian officials have pledged to swiftly try and punish anti-government protesters, with officials warning that anyone arrested in the past few days is considered guilty of waging "internal war" against the regime. An Iranian protester may be executed today, according to the US State Department and a family member.
