Does Iran really want armed conflict?
#13
U.S. military has begun reestablishing air base inside Saudi Arabia... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast/u-s...i-n1031916

Hundreds of U.S. troops, fighter jets, and Patriot missile defense systems are moving to Prince Sultan Air Base, officials said.

In June the U.S. military began moving equipment and hundreds of troops back to a military base in Saudi Arabia that the U.S. deserted more than 15 years ago, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the deployment.

Over the coming weeks the deployment to Prince Sultan Air Base, intended to counter the threat from Iran, will grow to include fighter jets and Patriot long-range missile defense systems, the officials said. The Patriots have already arrived at the base and should be operational in mid-July, while the aircraft are expected to arrive in August.

Several hundred U.S. service members are already on site preparing the facility south of Riyadh, which is controlled by the Royal Saudi Air Force, a number that will grown to more than 500 after the arrival of an air squadron.

The officials said the deployment focuses on defensive capabilities, with Patriot batteries for missile defense and the fighter jets intended to defend U.S. forces on the ground. But they acknowledged the aircraft could be used offensively as well.

They hate Israel b/c they are Jews and SA b/c they are Sunnis.
Then what is the end game?  Annoy?  why?  Antagonize?  Why?  Leverage to gain what?
Yeah, Zero is not in office anymore.

They must think this will help get the sanctions reduced.
But they are wrong. This aggression will not stand.
