    🇺🇸🏃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.

      8,000 at the start of the war, only 1,500 evacuating. That’s 6,500 unaccounted for. Which means they either:

      • Died
      • Were already evacuated (ether to the US, to other bases in the region or to hotels)
