US moving Patriot anti-missile systems from Saudi Arabia as Iran tensions ease
(Worthy News) – The United States will be relocating four Patriot missile batteries from Saudi Arabia that were deployed amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
The move comes as some officials have concluded that Iran no longer poses as immediate a threat to U.S. interests as it did earlier this year, when tensions between the two countries soared following the U.S. drone strike targeting Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing U.S. officials. Dozens of military personnel deployed to man the systems will also be relocated.
Two U.S. jet fighter squads have already been removed from the Gulf region because of the deescalation, and officials said that reductions to the U.S. Navy’s presence there is also being considered. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
