It is the largest, most devastating attack on the Zionist entity in its 76-year history. The full impact is not yet apparent. While US officials worriedly warned hours in advance they possessed “indications” Iran was preparing to attack "Israel", the incursion’s timing, scale, and severity caught all concerned by surprise. Washington dispatching thousands more troops across West Asia in the days prior, explicitly in "Israel’s" defence, was evidently no deterrent to Tehran.

"There have been many U.S. bases in the region since the end of the second world war, but this report is principally concerned with those located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait. These nations comprise the heart of the “Gulf States,” the Arab monarchies that lie along the southern side of the Arabian Gulf (the geographic exception is Jordan). The United States considers the naval base at Manama, Bahrain, to be the “Main Operating Base” for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in the Middle East. It is the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, the naval component (NAVCENT) of CENTCOM. There are airbases in Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. These bases are typically “dual use” facilities, and host nation aircraft operate from the same field. U.S. bases in the region were originally designed to prevent Soviet encroachment into the oilrich gulf during the late Cold War. After the fall of the Shah and the Iranian revolution in 1979, the bases were still considered key elements of a defense of the region against the Soviets, although Iranian support was factored out. This began to change in the 1980s. Increasingly, the bases were oriented against Iranian activities, with the “Tanker War” of the 1980s being largely supported by bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. It’s important to understand that these operations were high intensity combat operations: this was not counterinsurgency."
