US Central Command is exploring the relocation of military bases from Gulf Cooperation Council states to Israel's Negev desert.
This strategic reassessment follows significant Iranian missile and drone attacks on US positions in the region, viewed as retaliation for joint US-Israeli strikes. The move is designed to place critical assets beyond the immediate reach of Iran's missile capabilities.
The deliberation indicates a notable shift in American military posture amid escalating tensions. Market observers have taken note, with prediction markets currently pricing a 13.5% probability of a US ground invasion of Iran before 2027.
