Report: Iran attacks prompt US review of Gulf military presence
Report: Iran attacks prompt US review of Gulf military presence The United States is weighing changes to its military footprint in the Middle East, prompted primarily by Iranian attacks on its bases in the Gulf nations, according to a report. Citing serving and former US service members, analyses of satellite imagery and social-media footage, the Wall Street Journal reported that the damage to the US Navy's headquarters in Bahrain was extensive—damage that the Pentagon has not publicly disclosed. The command headquarters and at least a dozen other buildings had been especially hit hard, the Journal added.
