According to a report from Reuters today, a comparison analysis of satellite images shows that since January this year, as tensions between the United States and Iran escalate, US troops stationed at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar had loaded missiles onto mobile launch platforms earlier this month - the report indicates that this means these missiles can be rapidly deployed for strikes or quickly moved for defense. In addition to Qatar, the US military has bases in Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Turkey, and Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean, which can be used for their military operations in the Middle East. Satellite images from mid-January to early February also show that the deployment of military equipment, including aircraft, has been increased at multiple US military bases in various countries. President Trump has been continuously threatening to bomb Iran due to its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, but negotiations are still ongoing to avoid war. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that if Iranian territory is attacked, they will retaliate against Israel and any US bases in the region.
