According to Reuters, the US president's threat to attack Iran again has forced Persian Gulf allies to face the bitter reality that US military bases, instead of providing security, can make them targets for Iran's response. Iranian missiles that hit American bases and energy facilities in the Persian Gulf in the previous round of conflicts exposed the vulnerability of Washington's security architecture. This point of view was the main focus of the talks between ministers and security officials at the "Manama Dialogue" security meeting in Bahrain. Reuters reported on Monday, November 2, citing four European officials, that the United States has deployed enough troops and military equipment in the region for a preemptive strike against Iran, possibly this week. Another European official, referring to being in contact with Persian Gulf leaders, said: "War is coming; "No one is in favor of this war."
