The US began a large airlift to the Middle East following warnings to the Gulf states to prepare for a possible renewal of the war against Iran. At least 10 US military transport planes have landed at Obanda and Navans air bases in southern Israel in the last 24 hours. Some came from Fort Bliss in Texas, suggesting the US is re-weakening Israel's air defense inventory, and possibly deploying more Patriot batteries. US military transport planes have also landed at bases in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in recent hours. The terms: warSaWitness.
