The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) is considering moving its military bases’ operational systems in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia to Israel in order to increase their distance from further Iranian missile and drone attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported last Thursday.

The US Navy may revamp its base in Bahrain, which has suffered severe damage since late February up until the recent US-Iran ceasefire. Bahrain has been home to the US Navy’s central forces in the Middle East for over 50 years.

One option is to establish a new base in the Negev big enough to hold the American army’s forces, or to expand one of the Negev’s air force bases and allocate an American compound there.

The US Department of Defense and the US Army also plan to renew their supply contracts with the Ministry of Defense and the IDF until 2030, and possibly further.

This idea for relocation follows Iran’s extensive damage to at least 20 US sites across the Middle East since the onset of the war, especially NSA Bahrain.

EXCERPT

Hmmmm....seems that the Iranian drones did a LOT more damage to those fancy, very expensive bases that the U.S. has built in the Middle East since 1991 than the U.S. military has been willing to admit.  So now CENTCOM wants to move everything to Israel...talk about irony!!!

spread 'em around ... Socotra is a strategically located island worth investigating.  It nominally belongs to Yemen, but the U.A.E. has been controlling it since the Iran-backed Houthi's started their terrorist insurgency in Yemen.

I was about to post this piece myself (had it all prepared and ready to go), but the rattler beat me to it.

Pardon me folks, for being dumb, that's my stock in trade, but...
... isn't this what is usually called...
... a RETREAT ??

Once again, I will post the simple question I began posting back in 2004 or so:
Who's winning...??

That's exactly right!  Brings to mind George B. McClellan's 1862 "change of base" on the Virginia peninsula after getting whipped by Robert E. Lee during the 7 Days battles outside of Richmond.

Instead of moving American bases, remove all Iranian bases by turning them into sand dunes. tiny nuke
