The Pentagon is considering relocating some of its military bases from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in order to reduce potential damage from Iran should military operations in the Middle East resume, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Axar.az informs that according to the WSJ, after the US launched a military operation against Iran on February 28, around 20 US sites in the Middle East were damaged in retaliatory strikes. The fact that US military bases fall within the range of Iranian missiles is prompting Washington to reassess its regional presence.

According to report, Israel is being considered as a possible host for some of the bases that could be transferred from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
