Reports published on Sunday indicate that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) has moved some of its aircraft from regional bases to reduce the vulnerability of this equipment if the conflict with Iran resumes. At the same time, a report in the Wall Street Journal from the aircraft carrier USS George Washington in the Arabian Sea indicates the continued loading and supply of weapons, including long-range missiles and bunker bombs. This report refers to the observations of the newspaper reporters on the munitions supply operations and the activity of the carriers' planes. Satellite images of Sheikh Issa Air Force Base in Bahrain over the past week show it completely evacuated, with no aircraft visible at the base, but Al Udeed Air Base in Qatar continues to host large numbers of US aircraft.
